Then they’re checking thousands of assets instead of just a single search term. This isn’t scalable, so it won’t happen.
No. This isn’t a good idea because it means, as I have literally explained twice now, that they would have to do retroactive filtering, which either isn’t possible (usernames) or will just be pointless (asset names) and in both cases will take massive computing power.
Yeah, I know, but still. I dont think it should be filtered tho. Nobody see what you type in the search and users, assets should be displayed - cause you are just looking for them… You just want to search them up. What’s dangerous for kids in that? They type swear words by themselves and they just get answers, because of what they wrote… Okay - let’s say they shouldn’t search for usernames like that. I still think 13+ users should be able to.

Danger is in finding things that somehow got past moderation. Sometimes things do slip by. I do think that the filtering should be way less strict on the site, though.
So over 13s should see discriminatory, offensive material and racial slurs?
Ikr, but it’s still pretty annoying when you look for some user and your input is getting hashtagged. It should be less strict at least for 13+. Maybe its danger, but you are still looking for that, so it’s same as if you would search using link or some other way. You just searched for it.

You can type those into Google and you’ll find them with their meanings. You wouldn’t type something without knowing the word

Still. Not every profile is indexed by Google, at least it needs some time to do this… Google uses index system to fast search. Also robox searching would be… much easier?
Not talking about Roblox profiles, talking about words 
Oh yea. I get it now. Your right. Does google filter the search? Maybe from inappropriate content (mostly images), but it doesn’t filter input. If your looking for that - it’s just showing it to you. Don’t want to see - don’t type.
I fully agree with you. That’s what I want to say from the beginning. Thanks!

As already explained by EchoReaper.
It should be at least less strict…
This won’t change.
Sadly… This is true - this wont change.
This issue dearly affects me as users aren’t able to search up my username without it being censored.

Wait, but how about in-game leaderboard (usernames) I haven’t ever seen that it’s filtered.
This isn’t filtered because it’d cause serious problems in game - compared to search, which has minimal impact due to filtering.
But you still see inappropriate usernames. Why might it be filtered in search then if you are looking for it.
