Solved! Go to Solution.
It seems like a lot of people have been having the same issue recently, as I have also after just updating to the most recent version of spotify, and according to @SpotifyCares on Twitter, it looks like there is a Spotify team is working on it. This thread, suggested that some people have been able to get search back by tapping above browse, though it hasn't worked for me. However, you can get some search functions by going to www.listenspotify.com and then searching, which will then open up in the spotify app.

It's the same here on android 4.2 on my tablet. No search option
However the search shows up on my android 5.1 mobile.
I currently have Spotify Premium installed on my Andriod phone but there is no search fature anymore!! this is very annoying and a big mistake by Spotify in my opinion if they have removed this feature! There is no update available on the play store either that might rectify this. has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know wethere this feature will return and any idea when?
No Search button available by the app? Is this a bug or a feature?
Fix it - quick! - or I'll go!
NO SEARCH - NO SUBSCRIPTION FURTHER!
According to the first enquiry to this matter, there is already a solution.
I don't think that a single one from Spotify is looking at this forum according to this and other posts about this problem.
Idk if they're ignoring this forum or simply don't care.
Maybe it's more helpful to write to the following mail address:
android-support@spotify.com
Hi - has anyone else had a problem with the search function, which keeps disappearing? Occasionally it comes back but for the last week or so it is mostly just not there. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it hasn't helped.
It means I can't search for songs or anything else outside of my playlist - very annoying.
Cheers
It is my workaround. Not a solution, as it doesn't work, at least not for me, for song search, only artist search (haven't yet tried album search).
I would like a fully functional search back. My luck in finding what is probably a remnant of a former version of Spotify, one that worked, is not a solution, though its better than nothing.
You can get it temporarily back.
- Close all app activities by going to spotify and pressing Back button until back to desktop.
- Start Spotify by icon, not widget album image.
Search will be there until it breaks again.
