[Roblox Studio] Toolbox query gets censored despite being harmless

I’m really annoyed by the language filter being used in these kinds of services. Trying to look up for innocent and harmless things such as a smoke particle effect for a chimney becomes impossible since the filter detects “smoke” as a reference to actual smoking. This isn’t the first time I’ve had to deal with an issue like this. It’s honestly really confusing to me - I understand filtering chat results or the title and content of the models uploaded to the toolbox, but why censor the search query itself? Regardless, is there any way to avoid these kinds of things happening for the future? These kinds of issues really throw a wrench in my workflow, as now I have to make from scratch something that I could’ve just found an asset for.

While the issue is still happening, instead of directly searching the particle, I recommend looking for alternatives, such as searching for particle / texture packs in models section, or even particle texture in decals section, until you found what you’re looking for.

Also, why not make the particle emitter yourself?

the toolbox is there for a reason, sometimes it’s easier to just get a pre-made particle effect.

Making a ParticleEmitter isn’t relatively hard compared to making the particle Texture yourself though.

This is incredibly stupid. They censored the “toy” in audio assets :clown_face: What is wrong with these people?
