How do we search in a playlist on Android?

Is there a search option once we are in the playlist? I cant seem to find it anywhere.

Hey @21gextw2oa3aj4v, thanks for reaching out to the Community!

If you would like the Search function to be reimplemented within playlists, make sure to head on over here and add your vote to the idea. The more votes that the idea garners, the more likely it is that Spotify will consider reimplementing it!

In the meantime, you can check out this post (which includes screenshots) to see how to access the Search function for playlists.

I hope this helps!

That link describes options that dont exist on the Android app. At least not in my case. My app is of the latest version.

Hey @21gextw2oa3aj4v,

You’re looking to search for songs within a particular playlist, correct?

If so, does following the steps provided on this page help?

Keep me posted.

I do not have any of the circled options that are present in that image and they are nowhere to be found. I have looked everywhere.

I am on this 3-month trial, but there is no way I'd renew. What a disgrace of an android app.

Hey there @21gextw2oa3aj4v,

Thanks for the reply.

When you have a playlist open, you simply need to slide down and a search bar will appear.

Let us know if that works for you.

Sliding down does NOT currently work. I'm on a Google Pixel Pro 6 with latest Android and Spotify versions.

Hi there @cheesemonger,

Thank you for your reply and confirmation.

Can you kindly provide us a recording of you trying to slide down so that we can have a closer look directly from your end?

It would also be great if you could let us know which version of the app you're using?

We'll keep an eye out for your reply.

Take care!
