How to search for a playlist?

How to search for a playlist?

I can't remember how to search for a specific playlist in Spotify. How can I do that? It's something like this: "spotify:playlist:[the playlist]"

Yes that's the way but there are billions of playlists so the less followed ones sometimes don't appear.

The playlist code is unique, e.g. 6KIlNiLUPyrMzLGI1EKv3v. Doesn't make any sense that less popular ones doesn't show up. I mean, if I got a unique ID for a playlist then wouldn't it make the most sense if it just gave me the results? Not your fault of course, just saying it's weird if that's the case.

The playlist search is for searching for a playlist by name. Why would anyone search for a playlist if they already know the full spotify URI? And if they don't know the URI, how would thay know what to search for? Sorry, I don't understand in what circumstance you think searching on part of a URI would actually be useful?
