My Question or Issue

In the Web player I can't search any song. Idk if my computer just doesn't like Spotify, because this is another thing that doesn't work, or what. I used to use the app but because my problem with it wasn't solved, I had to switch on the Web player. And everything was fine until a week ago. I wanted to search a song I didn't have in my library or any playlist but the moment I started writing its title, came up the red stripe informing me that "Unfortunately there showed up an error. Load again." Well, "load again" option didn't work either. I thought it may have been something wrong with my connection or so but today I tried to search something again and the situation is the same. I tried to open Web player in the incognito card but without any improvement. What should I do?

Hi! I have exactly the same problem. I used to listen to music on the spotify app on my laptop, but suddenly I couldn't listen to songs anymore and all my playlists were empty. I had to switch to web player. And for some days now I can't research anything and I have the same message "load again", but nothing happens.

it doesnt work for me either, only way to find a song on spotify webplayer is to search spotify search :enter song name+artist name: and hope the link to the song on spotify shows up just make sure you are logged in and make a playlist for the song if you find it otherwise the spotify search bar in the webplayer wont work for some reasson this was the only work around i found untill theres a fix

I have the exact same issue. I suddenly couldn't play songs in the spotify program, so I switched to the web player of spotify. But then I discovered I couldn't search for songs. It's really tiresome to have all this problems, I hope they one day will fix this because I'm paying and not getting what I'm paying for basically.

By the way I tried to switch browser, normally use firefox and then tried microsoft edge but it still didn't work. Don't know if any of you had success doing that?

I actually found a solution maybe.

It worked for me and a few others.

Hi! Does anyone know how to do an exact (not advanced with 999 results) search in web version properly? these options with "quotes" or "AND" don't help
