Poor token search results

1567341529

Edited 1567341625
I have had trouble for the last year to six months searching for tokens, maps and assets. Tokens which used to come up in the search seem to have disappeared and suddenly become unavailable. This seem to happen for token sets I have bought or have access to as part of my pro subscription. For example I just searched on the term "goblin", with token set as a filter. I got 1 free hit the "Grumpy Goblin" from the Secret Of the Wizard's Orb set However it returned nothing from free assets 02 - Goblins And Kobolds to which I have access to, which has 23 tokens with the word Goblin in the title. Please could you fix this ASAP as I almost feel this is a deliberate ploy to encourage me buy more token sets. :(

Searching in general is hit or miss.  :(  Fixes are an ongoing thing.
Lots of weird things have been happening lately on Roll20. The thing is search used to work perfectly. So unless the team changed database architectures there is no reason why the search shouldn't still work. As a coder, I know that code like wine improves with time as it gets more refined. If you change some code and it breaks something else then you need to roll back your changes to an earlier time when it did work. My friend reports that his "shadow run game" character sheets have some how been wiped. I reported a bug about the dev servers initiative tracker some weeks ago and that still hasn't been fixed. My code worked used to work perfectly on the dev server and it still does on the production server. It's almost as if the Roll20 servers have been invaded by naughty gremlins.
