If a creator’s name is something like this: XP-RP-Glitch-Meta

By adding a hyphen - you are basically adding a space in search, so you will be in Fortnite search results for the term XP, Glitch, etc.

This has helped a lot of creators get a leg up on competition as well by just making a new account under the name “Bodycam” for example.

Really needs to be fixed. There are people with 1000+ players using this exploit, Promoting your map under a term like “Glitch” should be heavily enforced, Should it not? Thanks

Saw your post on the discord, I totally agree.

How they could fix this could be both removing these creators, but there could be search filters and sorting options

Maybe just a Universal Search Algorithm that displays All containers/words applicable to the search.

I know when a map is called “HelloWorld”, if you just search the word “Hello” it displays ‘Nothing Found’
