Summary

When you search something the exact matches should go first, in my test I get relevant results in positions 1, 6, 7, 8 and irrelevant results in positions 2, 3, 4, 5 (though they do not contain the string in question)

hi,

How can spammers have maps higher that community Creators.

Surely the search should the search should look at the amount of followers of these Creators has.

This would then block the spam maps because they dont have followers.

This is same as new discovery search which just picks up random maps not in search maps.

If you ask for “1 v 1” islands you get all sorts, just random.

I understand that other creators are way more popular, but if someone does search my epic then they should be able to find my work. But almost the whole top row is taken from me and other creators rob whatever clicks they can from unicorn players searching ‘latunda‘.
