(Title note: I would say upgrade instead of Revisist, but LOSER is a funny acronym.)
Anyone notice how bad the search engines are on this site? Tag spam is used a ton, it picks up things barely relevant, doesn't show numbers of results, "posted by(or posted by you)" last time I checked just pulled up anything with their/your username in it(Without actually putting up stuff they/you wrote.), in the end making it in the games page, catalog, and forums look like a giant mess of irrelevant trash, and it's LONG been in need for a major overhaul. For years it has been like this. You should also get the option to only get "Original posts" or search within a thread on the forums, and search by creator in the catalog and games(or maybe on their pages...), so that you don't look up a thread theme, then get endless replies to those things and random commentary.

Just because it's not huge like price floor doesn't mean it doesn't deserve attention.

I searched "car model" for a movie scene I was doing and I got the following:

"Best gun in robloxia"
"A Guest"
"SK8ER BOI"
"RoWindows"
"Teleporter"
"GUIs [Not relating to a car in any way]"

And everything else - EXCEPT A CAR!

Support. If people pushed for good updates like this instead of trash like price floor removal and chatbar removal, we could progress much quicker.

Glad to see people get this, I posted it last year and it was ignored. I got one support and a bunch of people said it was useless(obviously they had gone off and supported stuff like "NO PRICE FLOOR!" and "CHOOSE NAME COLOR" and stuff that isn't really even technical.), and I once proposed making roblox "lighter" on your computer, as I realized how it takes so much power using a system monitor. Nobody cared.

It is comforting to find legitimate suggestions every now and then. I completely agree that the search engine seriously needs to be revised, and here's a few of my thoughts on it:

They can revise it to be like Google, where you can use quotation marks to find something word for word (ex: "red mustang"), or use a hyphen to exclude certain words (ex: -antilag), or even use two periods to mark a certain time frame an item was made (ex. 2008..2009)


Whatchyall think?

Search methods are a good addition, for the growing forums and content, we need a much better search engine.
