This has been going on for a while and it varies from player to player. Sometimes, I suspect that location of the user could also be a factor regarding this.
Let me explain, searching for items on the marketplace returns irrelevant results for some users.
Searching through AvatarEditorService is also affected in the same way, games like Catalog Avatar Creator also tend to return no results, even none, less than the website.
I’ve also thought maybe it is an account thing, since personalized results exist. New account was made and tested - tends to return exactly the same results… that’s why I thought it was a location issue, perhaps. My cousin who lives in the same country, got the same irrelevant results as me.

I understand personalized results are intented, but this does not seem like a personalized results thing. It does not return items at ALL at the bottom, I would not be able to find the items on “non logged in” screenshot not even if I scrolled all the way down! As if they disappeared.
I would appreciate an answer regarding what exactly is happening, this makes searching extremely difficult and hard, even if I type the same unique name of an item, I wouldn’t be able to find it. This is really annoying and ruins my projects since I can not find correct items I’m looking for.
Expected behavior
The intended behavior is that I should be able to see all the results when I search for something.
Personalized results help an user get things personalized for them, but completely unable to find the item, not even when going to the last page, does not sound like a personalized result issue, but something else.
