My creator name is Shawk, like my name here. If I search that name inside of Fortnite to be able to see my maps, Shark maps show up, maps to do with sharks, absolutely zero of my maps show up even though I am the exact name being searched. This only seems for names like mine which are simular to small names like Shark. I know search is being micro managed but this is just going backwards.

Steps to Reproduce
Go into Fortnite, Search my name Shawk, you will find only shark titled maps, you will not see any of my maps.
Expected Result
I expect my maps to show up like they did a month ago before search was once again modified.
Observed Result
Maps with the title of Shark are the only maps shown like it thinks I searched Shark instead of Shawk.
Maybe this is how it should be. I dunno. I am simply noting another massive sweeping change that just comes out of no where and is not remotely announced to us. The usual.
My case in particular, the system just thinks I don’t exist, my name has no benefit to me other than for others to find my maps so I don’t see why a person can’t find my name by searching without actually going into my profile and finding my maps.
Most creator names don’t search their content anymore unless its in their maps title. Maybe there is a good reason for this but really this just further pushes this meta of making an account per map, calling your map the same name as your account basically. More account spam is what you want?
