Unable to use "CreatorName/CreatorTargetId" params on non-UGC categories in the catalog

I wanted to search for only accessories made by the Roblox account, to find that the query strips the CreatorName & CreatorTargetId params from the URL.

https://www.roblox.com/catalog?Category=11&Subcategory=19&CreatorName=ROBLOX
https://www.roblox.com/catalog?Category=11&Subcategory=19&CreatorTargetId=1

Neither of these queries work as they should, however the CreatorName param does work on the Community Creations category. Sadly I can’t search for items created by the Roblox account that way. If this isn’t a bug then I kindly ask to explain why this would be intended behavior

I also have this issue, the only way to sort by roblox is when showing all categories. Can find hats made by roblox in this category by searching for the keyword hat or accessory

https://www.roblox.com/catalog?Keyword=accessory&Category=1&CreatorID=1

That’s great, thanks for letting me know! I didn’t realize “Keyword” included the items type, considering the Catalog API wiki page is ambiguous in explaining what that parameter is

Hello! Thanks for reporting. It would appear that you were able to find a solution. As for the initial cause, it is true that this is currently intended, although not ideal behavior for now. We will look to make updates to how the filters work both on the website and in the app in the future.
