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.

Just ran into this issue as well. Apple Music will return search results just fine, however Spotify will error out.

I’ve logged out of all Spotify locations, re-authorized my account, ect.

Same problem for me . Started 2 weeks ago . Search result s on Spotify artists on s1 and s2 not working . Brings up hype machine and out her services just not Spotify .
agree that it is down to down Sonos to sort with Spotify . Come on guys . It’s a fairly essential feature

Spotify search not working in Canada either. I tried to disconnect Spotify and re-add it but I got error 500 “Sorry we are unable to set up your account at this time”

I have 6 speakers throughout my house that are now all pretty much useless at the moment.

Same symptoms for me. Sonos S1 - artist search not working except for the random artists mentioned by other users here. Please Sonos, work with Spotify and resolve this issue.

Apparently Sonos has a new search function. I wonder if this is the problem?

Same issue with S1 here in the Netherlands, but only with main account.

We have a family Spotify account and artist search works fine if I choose one of the Spotify family accounts other than the main account. Very strange.

Same issues here. Classic Search in Sonos - Spotify Artists don’t work (though songs and albums do).

New Search - can’t connect to Spotify.

Help!
