It is really hard to search for songs which have non-english title (most Hindi songs) because they may be written in many different ways, eg.
While searching for Pankaj Udhas's song "Aur Aahista", no result come up.
After changing the search to "Aahista", a different suggestion comes up.
Finally searching "Ahista" does the trick.
This roots from 2 main problems in search:
- It doesn't search with individual terms, like here it should have searched with {"Aur", "Aahista", "Aur Aahista"} but the search was just made with {"Aur Aahista"}.
- A Hindi word can be written in english in many forms like
- Aahista(เคเคนเคฟเคธเฅเคคเคพ) -> {"Ahista", "Aahista", "Ahistaa", "Aahistaa"}
- Keejiye(เคเฅเคเคฟเคฏเฅ) -> {"Kijiye", "Keejiye", "Kijeeye", "Keejeeye"}
- Khoobsurat(เคเฅเคฌเคธเฅเคฐเคค) -> {"Khubsurat", "Khoobsurat", "Khubsoorat", "Khoobsoorat"}, etc.
Unless the above search improvements are made, finding a Hindi song on Spotify would be a challenge in itself.
