Hi there, I'm stpiggethe2nd. Currently, there is no recent tab for searches, only Popular and Trending.
I hope to change that, and here's why.

1. Game contests. These will be MUCH easier to search for as 90% of the game contests on the regular search tabs are closed.
   Underration. Bored people can just click on the recent tab to pull up the recent projects. Seeing one that they like will help prevent underration, which is a MASSIVE problem on scratch.
   idk what else
   

Despite not being for the front page, this is still a rejected suggestion:

8.8 “Recently Shared Projects” row on the front page
This proposed row on the front page would display projects that were most recently shared by Scratchers, in an attempt to help unnoticed Scratchers get more views. Such a feature existed in Scratch 1.4 and Scratch 2.0. It was removed for several reasons: the community did not find these projects interesting, the row would sometimes show inappropriate projects, and these new projects would often get disrespectful comments from other users.

A button or link which allows you to view a random project is also rejected for similar reasons.

oh sorry

should probably look at rejected suggestions before i post lol

We had similar for the explore page though it got removed.

For the search I don't know how rejected it is.
