Isn’t really a website bug due to the fact that Roblox filter is so strong its impossible to say “Adams” without spaces or special letters or just type my username in general
But like @Megalodox_Official said, they should get a free name change if they want to, or they could tone down on the censoring (which probably isnt gonna happen) so your best bet would be to use an extension
I also think they shouldn’t censor the search bar. I mean what can appear? The game titles/descriptions are already filtered. Player names are as well, assets, avatars etc…
If everything is filtered then in the search bar we do not need filtering.
Another workaround is that you can use this url: https://www.roblox.com/users/profile?username=Daw588 Replace Daw588 with whatever username you are searching for.
Weird. I know for a fact that people cannot create accounts containing “SubtotalAnt” in their name, but it doesn’t get censored.
This isn’t a bug, it’s Roblox’s filtering that filter “inappropriate” words.
This specific filter was most likely added if someone tried to type something inappropriate but made a typo. That’s the case with all usernames that can “relate to” or “rhyme” with inappropriate words or terms.
This is likely an intended feature (whether you like it or not). It’s been talked about in a ton of bug reports and feature requests and all of them come to the conclusion that it is an intended feature that will not be fixed. In this case, the OP would likely be better off asking for their specific username to be un-filtered rather than the filter to not be applied for search terms, as the latter likely will not happen.
I decided to bump this as this still needs fixing and searching for a censored username is impossible.
There were a few threads that all got locked with the following:
Locking because this is a heavily duplicated topic that has been discussed and thoroughly justified already.
Consider referring to this thread instead, and reading other linked threads to gain an understanding of why this filter is in place:
However, this referenced thread got locked too so there is no unlocked thread.
I don’t think we should be forced to use third-party extensions to use Roblox features, also I am using Firefox not a Chromium-based browser so this solution won’t help me.
