Spotify artist search not working

Desktop and Android app have started telling me "spotify returned no results for _____ in artists. Please try a different category or a new search term" this morning. Has replicated on multiple devices. Only happens for Spotify and only in "artists", albums and playlist search still works. Any idea if I changed a setting or if something is wrong on their end?

I’ve reset the speakers and restarted the apps.

Hi @conor et al

We believe this issue has, again, been resolved and we can no longer reproduce it in our own testing. If you do continue to see this issue, however, please get in touch with our technical support team to report as much. Thank you.

Yeah Spotify Search for Artists is broken, even “taylor swift” doesn’t work. (Using Classic Search, New Search seems ok).

However, on the S1 app it works fine (Desktop anyway).

My Windows app is also affected, so this is a Spotify problem to solve. Again.

Hi @conor

Thanks for reporting! We have been unable to reproduce this issue, but have only tested from within Europe which could easily be a factor.

If removing your Spotify account from Sonos and adding it back again does not help, I recommend you get in touch with our technical support team who, if unable to fix it, will at least be able to flag it for investigation after going through some basic troubleshooting steps.

I hope this helps.
