Roblox Catalog search engine needs to better prioritize accessories based on the keywords entered

As a Roblox user, it is currently difficult to utilize the catalog’s search engine when looking for an accessory without using filters.

Searching is a key component of the catalog. However, one major problem is the fact that it will always priorotize ROBLOX-made accessories over UGC ones even if they are barely related to what you searched for unless you use the Community Creations filter or search for an accessory with a name not used by ROBLOX.

For example, I searched for the “Cartoony Rainbow Wings” by CodyDevv without any filters. The first results show only items made by ROBLOX that only contained 1 out of 3 keywords I used instead of the “Cartoony Rainbow Wings”.

The most “relevant” result, the “Wings of Freedom”, does not contain the words “Cartoony” nor “Rainbow” anywhere in its name or description. So there should be no reason for this to be the
the top result when I search “Cartoony Rainbow Wings” without any filters.

If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my experience because it will be much easier to find an accessory I’m looking for without having to use multiple filters.
