This has already been discussed multiple times
I was trying to get to a friend’s profile (Malchezaar) who is also on these forums.
aand this happens when I search him

Is the filter intended to be in this part of the page?
I understand user input like forum posts or chat being filtered, but no-one else will ever see what you searched?
I’m not under 13 and nobody else is going to read my search and get offended, so I don’t understand why they are filtered. Can an admin explain this?
I understand there’s filtering. I understand Roblox is becoming more safe, but please don’t throw in filtering everywhere, certainly not for input boxes used to search through the library for development, or to find games / people / etc.
Searching through the library for the “Bianco Hills” music track (which is a level in Super Mario Sunshine) results in searching for “###### #####”, and hence no results.
Just as in games, this stuff is shown to the client only and hence should not require fil…
If you search a player’s username that is filtered it won’t turn up:

I was searching up the user Ogbobbyjohnson6789, but I couldn’t get to profile because it kept on censoring his username. Ik there’s a function for it, but I usually go to a player’s profile to grab their UserId.
Ended up just google searching their username: https://www.roblox.com/users/151271533/profile
Please use the search functionality next time to establish if your post has been made before
Just for the sake of a response however:
ROBLOX Search is filtered in order to prevent previously unfiltered usernames to not be shown, since ROBLOX does not perform retroactive filtering on text i.e. usernames.
i.e. without filtering, if you search up a swear in usernames, inappropriate usernames would be shown.
See the problem?
