Something bad is happening to the sorting algorithm again. After entering some words in the search bar, the algorithm searches for clothes completely unrelated to the entered word, here are some examples:
This only happens for certain words, which makes this bug even weirder. The search results for the words “dress” and “skirt” are exactly the same, as if the algorithm displayed the same set of incorrect search results for certain words.
Unfortunately, the way the sorting algorithm works now is a disaster, see for yourself:
sorry for off topic but what is the extension that you use to show the number of favorites on the clothing
No need to say sorry, unfortunately, there is no such extension, or maybe there is (it would be very useful to me) but unfortunately I don’t know about it, I created it in a graphics program.
that’s weird. how did you made all those numbers that show all the favorites numbers.
also i hope someone make an extension like that
it will be very usefull
Sorry for the late reply. That’s true, it would be very useful! I simply took screenshots and pasted them onto separate layers, Windows has an option to copy a selected part of the screen. So I took a screenshot of what was displayed in the catalog after entering words in the search field and then I clicked on each piece of clothing separately and took a screenshot of the number of likes and pasted it in a graphics program on a separate layer, it was very time-consuming.
It’s almost 2024 if its not already and the issue is still reoccurring. I doubt an admin is reading this post, but they should revert it back to sorting it by either the num of sales or robux earned or at least provide details on how the current algorithm works.
It’s hard to believe that this bug was reported in 2022 and nothing has changed at all. I stopped writing here because I was motivated to write by the hope that since it was reported as a bug and reported to the engineers, something would change in this matter, but after some time I realized that nothing would probably change. I will show you how the sorting algorithm works now. I typed “pastel rainbow overalls” in the search box and got these results (sorted by Relevance):
As you can see on the screenshot above, the first rows in the search results are clothes with 0-3 likes, these are obviously stolen assets.
The pants with 2.9K likes are in the 18th row (no one will find them), even though they have “pastel rainbow overalls” words in the name:
The other pants with 1.4K likes are in the 17th row so a similar situation:
I will show you another example of how the sorting algorithm works (or rather does not work). Unfortunately, a faulty algorithm promotes stolen assets and is the reason why people do not find the clothes I create (even those that have gained thousands of likes), so sales have dropped significantly.
Word entered in the search field: “frog”, search by “recently created”, random results, completely unrelated to the entered word
Word entered in the search field: “skirt”, search by “Relevance”, random results, completely unrelated to the entered word
Word entered in the search field: “dress”, search by “Relevance”, random results, completely unrelated to the entered word
Words entered in the search field: “long black dress”, search by “Bestselling”, random results, completely unrelated to the entered words
Word entered in the search field: “plaid skirt”, search by “Bestselling”, random results, completely unrelated to the entered words
Words entered in the search field: “mafia black suit”, search by “Bestselling”, random results, completely unrelated to the entered words
Words entered in the search field: “school black uniform”, search by “Relevance”, in the first row of the search results there are clothes with 1-2 likes and the pants created by me, with 19.8K likes and with the words “school black uniform” in the name, are in the 31st row, under many stolen assets
in the first raw of the search results:
in the 31st raw of the search results:
