The word "griddy" being censored when searching on the marketplace.

I made a UGC emote featuring the popular dance “The Griddy” and it has been doing well in sales and been high on the bestselling filter but recently my sales dropped despite my item having over 100k sales and 28.6k favorites previously.

I go to figure out why and check the bestselling filter only to be met with the word “griddy” being censored. This word has no other meaning than the dance itself, the closest real word to this being “gritty” also happens to not have any inappropriate meaning nor is it censored.

Searching any other word infront or behind “griddy” does not get censored (e.g. “the griddy”, “griddy dance”).
This is unfair due to the search filter for UGC items being based on your search EXACTLY and not being based off bestselling or other keywords in the description or name like 2D clothing does.

Please fix this error as it is causing my item to perform poorly if players want to buy it and not any other stolen copy with a slightly different naming scheme to try and profit off this error.

I’m dealing with the same issue. I recently found out that Roblox censored a keyword people used to search for my emote. Someone mentioned they couldn’t find it, and that’s when I learned the word “jackpot” was blocked. Now I have to remove it completely, which has hurt sales on what was my best-selling emote “Jackpot Groove”. I don’t see how terms like “griddy” or “jackpot” could be misused to the point of being censored like this. Especially in the marketplace.

I can’t reproduce this issue. Searching for “griddy” shows many matching results.
