Search to add new songs in a playlist doesn't work correctly

Country

Device

MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)

Operating System

macOS Catalina 10.15.7

App

Google Chrome 89.0.4389.128

Desktop (Mac) Spotify 1.1.56.595.g2d2da0de-a

Yesterday (April 14) search at the bottom of my playlists (where it suggests adding more tracks) stopped working correctly. It worked correctly on 14 April (or on 13 April). Meanwhile, the general search at the top works correctly. It works ok on my Android, but doesn't work both for web client and Mac desktop app.

When I enter the artist name it says that "nothing could be found" (i.e. "Queen"). When I enter artist name + song name it still says this (i.e. "Queen Bohemian Rhapsody"). I attach screenshots with these examples:

What could be the source of the issue?

Hey @CyxouD,

Thanks for posting here in the Community 🙂

Could you give these steps a go and run a clean reinstall? Sometimes the cache can lead to different issues.

If possible, could you try on another PC to check if there are any changes? You can also try with another browser.

Keep us in the loop! If you have questions, you know where to find us.

Thank you for your answer, but it happened both in web version and desktop one.
Nevertheless, I've just tested it again and noticed that it was fixed in both versions. Hope it won't happen again 🙂
