Searching STILL tags things that aren't inappropriate

Roblox has had a problem with the search filter for a while, especially when it comes to the toolbox. It might sound ridiculous, but it’s true. Roblox filters the things you search for. Sure, searching “sexual content” should be tagged, but maybe searching “Capture” shouldn’t. Earlier today, I was trying to find capture sound effects for my pokeball-thing-based game. In the game, you could throw a “capsule” at players to catch them, and they would be stuck in your capsule until you let them out. However, I couldn’t find a good sound, because LITERALLY EVERYTHING I SEARCHED WAS TAGGED. Roblox moderation sucks.

Expected behavior

Everything I search shouldn’t be tagged. The search filter should only interfere if certain words are searched, because searching for even slightly different things will pull up something else. (such as searching “capsul” will pull up things like “AI took over”).
