My Question or Issue

The function to search for songs within playlists is gone, and if you have 1999 songs in your playlist it's quite annoying. Is there anyway I can activate this function, or is it simply a bug or did Spotify just remove this function?

Hello @iknowthat9!

The pull down filter was removed. You can now search within a playlist or sort it from the three dot menu on the top right corner:

Because Spotify's developers policy says that a bad change is always preferred over no change.

Such a stupid change... Was one little finger move, instead of 2 inconvenient clicks with a bit a lag for each...
Can spotify developpers explain the reason for this ? I'm really curious...
