My Question or Issue

I use the label search function pretty often. It doesn't work any more, did it get removed?

Example: Label:"labelname"

Hey @HiFiCrisp, welcome to the Community.

Hope you are having a great time!

The Advanced Searching options are no longer available.

However, if you would like, you can submit it in Idea Submissions board or support it if this idea has been already submitted.

Have a nice day 🙂

Edit: Right now only "artist:", "album:", and "track:" work as advanced searching filters.

That is one of the worst responses I've ever heard. How about giving a reason why it's gone? The fact that you suggest submitting it as an idea means you might consider reinstating it, so why did you remove it in the first place??!!

Hey @nickfoard,

Hope you are doing great!

I don't work at Spotify so I don't have an answer to that but it should be back.

Have a nice day 🙂

I have to submit something that was a great feature, and one of my top reasons why I used spotify, as an idea? Why did you (they) remove the label search out of all the advanced search options? I'm heartbroken now when it's gone.

That's terrible. I loved the ability to search for a label or year. Why remove such a great feature?

Frustrating.

That's really disappointing.
I used to use the label and year advanced searches.

With such a huge library, the more controls you have over search the better.

😞

+1 This is unacceptable for us loyal customers. Why would you remove such a powerful tool?

Not to worry!

You can do much better label searching on Spotify w/ ListenByLabel

http://lbl.fm

Browse label catalogs by year, built your own list of favorite labels, generate your own custom playlists, and much more!
