Search doesn't work on my Android and never has!

[Kittenfuud]

I've been a Premium user for over a year and yeah I should've asked earlier but...

I have NEVER been able to use the search function from my mobile. I thought it was my old phone (SGS1-old!) but after I installed it on my new Galaxy 4, it still doesn't work. There's no search button to hit after typing in my query. I'm at a loss, I can only find new music by adding recommendations and that's idiotic. This has been going on for a LONG TIME! I would think installing it to my new phone would be a fresh install, I also thought the latest update world fix it. Now I'm asking you to help fix it. Arghhh-so annoying since I pay $10/month for this. 

(Yes I can search on my computer but my son co-opted it. He doesn't use Spotify so that's not the issue, and he didn't delete the program.) Help! Thanks for your prompt reply!

When you finish typing your search, just hit the return key (which has probably been replaced by the search icon) on the virtual keyboard.
