Search function gone haywire

My Question or Issue

For the last 18 hours or so the search engine has become markedly less useful. It throws up all kinds of content I didn't ask for and that doesn't fit with my search terms.
Eg: I search Barbirolli Planets
Usually I'd expect to see Sir John Barbirolli's recording(s) of The Planets, and if Spotify doesn't have any uploaded, for the search to come up empty. Instead of which I am presented with a host of recordings, none of them by him. This is no use. And it has changed suddenly in the last day. Is there a tech issue or a change of policy in terms of the algorhythm? Thanks.

Looks like an issue with search servers

Hey @kyburz74,

Thanks for reaching out about this in the Community!

We're recommend you run a clean reinstall of the app, to assure that you're running the latest version of the app and that all cache is cleared.

Let us know if the issue persists after this.

Cheers.
