Bug Reports Website Bugs ChickenEngineer (ChickenEngineer) February 4, 2017, 1:48am 1 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/profile24 Likes As8D (as8d) February 4, 2017, 1:57am 2 Wow… so even the input we type in ourselves (which can’t be seen by anyone else) is now filtered? (yep, seems like a bug)

A bit off-topic, but please don’t do this ROBLOX

This makes absolutely no sense.31 Likes madattak (madattak) February 4, 2017, 12:26pm 7 Same for game searches, tried to search for ‘mashables’ and got 0 results for #########9 Likes BuilderAtWork (BuilderAtWork) February 4, 2017, 7:42pm 8 Honestly, this filtering issue is getting out of hand now. Normal conversations in game = impossible, searching up certain groups/people that have normal names = impossible. It’s driving me insane11 Likes Alvin_Blox (AlvinBlox) February 5, 2017, 10:23am 9 Yep - got this when searching up a few of my friend’s names i.e Fraser2TheMax as seen below. This is really getting ridiculous now:

Very annoying when people are trying to search him up.3 Likes MetatableIndex (MetatableIndex) January 19, 2020, 1:59am 15 Necro bumping but this is still an issue.For the love of god, please fix it.This hurts players, developers and literally anyone trying to find somebody else on the roblox website. This is not only exclusive to players, too.Games, groups and catalog item searches also get tagged even when there is no reason to.The tags are literally local. Only the person writing the words can see them in the website. It makes no sense to even tag those words.Please, just get rid of the search tag mechanism.11 Likes AlbusSkywalker (AlbusSkywalker) January 19, 2020, 4:10am 16 Definitely agree with this, don’t see why they would approve usernames when a player makes their account just to tag it later when someone searches up their name…? Either way, as others have said, a player’s searches are only seen by themselves. Why in the world would they need to tag it?4 Likes PeZsmistic (PeZsmistic) Closed January 19, 2020, 4:20am 17 Locking because this is a heavily duplicated topic that has been discussed and thoroughly justified already. Consider referring to this thread instead, and reading other linked threads to gain an understanding of why this filter is in place:Website Bugs If I were to search something that’s on ROBLOX’s blacklist in the catalog, it filters it. I think this is a bug because the only things that are to be filtered are things visible by other players. This can seriously impact a user’s experience on roblox and should be fixed. Ex: [image]
