Why are web searches filtered?

Exactly. But to comply with the law, Roblox can’t just store minors’ information. The filtered search bar is probably there because of such ridiculously rare situations.

We could always make 13+ users exempt from the search filter. If searches from <13 users were stored, wouldn’t it be not be considered COPPA-compliant?

Because only you can see it, not others.

I think that also applies to searches

Try this: https://rbxshort.cf
It locate the user with exact username.

Don’t use some random external service for things that are already supported by the web API:
