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.

Using “” has fixed it for me

Thanks for the fix. Just out of curiosity: Did Sonos fix it, or was it Spotify?

This would have been a fix implemented by Spotify.

I can confirm it is now working without the “” - maybe needed to use the “” initially to get it going again - anyhow as I say now fixed
