The old search bar was way better than the one we have now.
You can barely find an updated game in the search.
Now it's all fav fav fav and visits visits visits.
What about the developers that attempt to get their games up their?
No one will find your game.
No matter how much tags you put in your description your game is still hidden.
This makes it so fustrating for people who are trying to develop a deasent game with the appropriate visits.
By the looks of it Roblox is so greedy that they will do anything for you to purchace an ad or spend lots and robux for the game to get it up there.

I WANT THE OLD SEARCH BAR BACK!

Below who's with me?

I disagree. The search bar we have now is just fine. Even if the game isn't on the first page and their a developer it can still get visits, it just takes time. ROBLOX is not greedy, if you purchase an ad and spend appropriate money on it, the game will get 'known'.

Yes, is there any possible way without spending big amount of tickets and without spamming below the comments in a famous game?

Yeah. You can just wait for people to play your game, or get a couple friends to help you advertise. Even though you spend big amounts of tickets, it's worth a shot.

With the 2013 search bar people would find your game easily just by clicking recently updated or just searching the dam thing.
No need to spend anything.

Yes that's true. But that still wouldn't work now, 2 years later, with a million more players. Games would get updated like crazy and you wouldn't legitimately have a chance.

If you search 1 particular game such as Spiderman/Haunted House/City how could it get spammed out?

Because there could be like 3 million games with those titles. It could take forever to find the one that you want to play.

I agree that the search bar does suck.

Once you search in a game it takes you to all these random ones

That's funny why doesn't this happen with the other search bars such as models/tshirts/shirts/pants or even better DECALS

here's what happened
if you search up "try before buy clothes"

it searches up the words try, before, buy, and clothes
and there are in most of the descriptions

The thing where the words are in the description doesn't work any more.
They're just the games that would be popped up on the old search bar. Now because they're popular the game says on the top mean while the deasent user games are being locked out. Even if you do try adding simple words just like that which is so called tags, it will never work and never will until you have to waste money on a stupid ad no one will click.

Let me compare:
Roblox 2012:Searching was very stable all you had to do was click Recently Updated
Roblox 2013:Same goes with 2012 but users wanted more attention so tags were spreaded
Roblox 2014:Cool at the start but getting to an end was just getting worse by seeing the ugly website style which confused every one.
Roblox 2015: The Recently Updated button is now hidden and now we are stuck on the wrong button which we cannot change.
We now view unwanted games such as hangout games when we're looking for a Haunted House game. When we create a game we don't even get one view by a nonfriend. It's all about wasting money on ads now where we didn't have to back in the days.

PEOPLE USE TAGS FOR EX

TAGS: TOWN OF ROBLOXIA, PAINTBALL, ETC

TAGS ARE WORDS THAT ARE RANDOMLY PUT IN THE GAME DESC.

WHEN PEOPLE SEARCH, THE TAGS COME UP TO THEIR GAME

AND NOT THE GAME YOU WANTED

I looked up "Top Thrill Dragster" in games, which is a roller coaster at Cedar Point, and the results are "The Zombies are Attacking McDonalds" and "ROBLOX Top Model!"
Sorry Roblox, this is inexcusable.

The tags would go away if only the old search filter was back.
