my spotify username does not appear in the search results if I or others try to search for it in the search bar.

How is it possible?

Hey @bluedobermann, thanks for reaching out to the Community!

Are you able to search for your username and others by going to the Search bar > typing 'spotify:user:[username]'. 

Let me know how this goes!

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I am able to search for my username typing "spotify:user:[username]", but I don't understand why I or my friends should write all this words instead of my username. It is a solution, but I don't think it is an user friendly method. My question is: why is there this username search problem?

Hey @bluedobermann,

Thanks for getting back to me!

There are many usernames on Spotify so it's possible that the person's username will not show up when trying to search for it.

In this case, searching with 'spotify:user:[username]' is the only option at the moment.

I hope this helps 🙂
