Bring back search bar in all pages

[morayb]

After a recent Spotify for Mac update, I have noted that the search bar has disappeared from all pages, in favor of a new "search" item in the left menu. I personally (and think a lot of people do) use the search bar very frequently and it is very inconvinient to always click to the button on the left then perform the actual search.

Hi @morayb, welcome to the community!

Can you tell me what's your device, operational system and Spotify version?

A print from this new update would be useful as well.

Thanks!

Hello, I am using Spotify version 1.1.2.285.ga97985ef running on a 15" MacBook Pro 2015 with macOS 10.14.3. I have attached a screenshot with more details.

Hey @morayb thanks for the screenshot.

I also have a MacBook Pro with macOS 10.14.3, but my Spotify version is 1.1.3.257...

So I guess you also have an available update. Just click on "Spotify" on the top left and then About Spotify - and you'll confirm this.

You can also try a clean reinstall.

Let me know if this helps!

I have reinstalled Spotify and nothing has changed regarding the issue I mentioned. The version installed is still the same as before and I don't see that any available update.

Hey @morayb,

It's important to know that at Spotify they’re often testing and launching improvements and new features. When they’re testing, you may see something on the app your friend doesn’t, or get a new feature for only a temporary period.

Meanwhile, here's this idea that you can add your vote and feedback to.

Also, make sure you don't miss a thing by enabling automatic updates on your device.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
