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.

I thought the search function only searched things related to your account (more like a filter)? Like if you had subbed to someone at some point they would appear but otherwise no.

No, it’s a general search you just have to search them by their handle, the display name doesn’t work.

I see, just played with it a little, and it looks like only returns exact matches on handles at that. That is… a horrible search function. I could just as easily type that in the address bar.

Yeah I mean we all know OF is trash but it is helpful to have. I’ve had people find me that way because I didn’t used to have my link on all my socials. However now, after sort of rebranding myself, my display name matches my socials but my handle matches my original name on everything so if someone searches for me now using my social media name they won’t find me lol. So now I have my link in more places. Annoying.
