Searching for a "ROBLOX Button up" on the catalog? Welp, get ready to to be blasted with a bunch of completely non-related items simply because the DESCRIPTION has the words "ROBLOX, Button, Cars, Cake, Up".
Tagging is really disappointing and how ROBLOX seemingly endorses it, either voluntarily or involuntarily. The algorithm is apparently to designed too search for the data inputted in both: Publisher, Title & Description.
I'm sure when I searched for a shirt (like many, many others did) I wanted precisely what I searched for. Not a video game sweatshirt with a tag that contains one-or-two words that I used to search for.
I understand its an influence to people to c**p post shirt copies and then add tags all over the description, but people would really enjoy subtlety and currently that is near impossible as whatever you literally search for that expands farther than the typical "red/blue/green shirt" category is not going to be found or be on the very last page because people gave up looking for it and therefore couldn't buy it, making it essentially unknown. |

Agreed. It's absolutely terrible.
And you know what the cherry on the cake is? When you get more specific with your search, the system does the exact opposite.
Type in one word (hoodie) into the catalog search, and check the page count. (1,339) Do it again, but with more words, (random hoodie thingy) You're gonna get more pages. (1,694) Add a LOAD of spaced letters next to each other all in one search and now it's the stuff of nightmares. (11,559) Type in every possible charater key with one space between each character? (16,483.)
It works the other way around, too. Just put in one letter, (G) and you get little to nothing compared to what I just showed you. (448)
-You probably know by now, but anything in ( )'s is what I used and got. Your results may vary with what you use.- |

Support.
This also counts for games. There are lots of people using tags that are unrelated to the game; using it to boost their place visit count which unfortunately works. |

It's very annoying to have several unnecessary results. Those who put unnecessary tags should be punished harshly. |

yeah it really does piss me off. and all they need to do is make it so it matches ALL the words, not just 1 word. if you search red helmet or something in hats, you get all things red and all things that are helmets.
gotta have me a good lasaga |
