I appreciate the ongoing work to improve Fab search rankings and understand that recent sales should play a significant role—this makes sense, and I wholeheartedly agree! I can see this in action, as assets that were bought recently are receiving a nice boost. However, I’ve noticed that older sales data from Fab doesn’t seem to be weighted as much as the historical sales imported from Sketchfab and UEM.
When analyzing overall search results using my own sales data (only comparing my products), it seems that older Fab sales aren’t contributing as much to rankings as migrated assets with historical sales from Sketchfab and UEM. For example, I have a product that sold twice on Sketchfab ranking higher than a Fab product with eight sales, simply because the latter was released directly on Fab.
If this is something already being worked on, then great—but I wanted to highlight it to ensure older Fab sales are accounted for fairly so that assets released on Fab in the past few months don’t rank lower just due to timing.
Thanks again for the ongoing improvements and for listening to community feedback!
