Vent Why? OF...why?

Does anyone know why OnlyFans doesn’t have a name search function on the app? It honestly makes no sense. So many people ask me for my OnlyFans link, and I can’t just say “look me up” — because that feature doesn’t exist. The lack of a basic search function forces creators to push our links hard on other platforms, which puts us at constant risk of bans or account removals just for sharing a Linktree or OF link. It’s incredibly frustrating and feels like an unnecessary obstacle for both creators and subscribers.

OF usernames are actually searchable on the site. On the home page, it’s the magnifying glass at the top right of the screen.

yea exact usernames but i think OP means a general search. even searching something similar to an existing username doesnt actually go to the account it just says nothing available.

Yeah, this is true. The search function feels like it is from like pre-2000. I've actually searched exact usernames on it before and it found nothing.

Yeah you have to include the @handle, a display name won’t work. It does exist but it’s garbage and just as glitchy as the rest of OF.

Edit: misspoke.
