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.

    Thank you – whoever fixed it. At least we all know we’re not going mad thinking we were doing something wrong!

    Fixed for me - and without an app update! Thanks to Sonos for prioritizing this bug.

    In case it’s helpful this still didn’t work for me today. No Spotify search results appearing within the Sonos app.

    I then removed the Tidal service from Sonos and Spotify search results started appearing again.

    I’m pleased to report that Spotify artist search is working again. But Sonos keeps losing its connection to Spotify, which I’ll report as a separate thread.
