Search function not working at all

[rawgi]

Since one of the recent updates the search function in my spotify desktop app is not working anymore.

when i type in a word, the screen stays empty.

no search result header or anything.

just blank space.

I know there are some more posts about this, but even those marked as solved do not have a solution, that's actually working.

YES, i tried logging in and out

YES, i tried to reinstall spotify

YES, i cleaned the roaming folder when reinstalling

YES, ofc i already restarted my pc

After i try to search stuff my spotify does not respond anymore at all.

I need to kill the main process and also its 5 subprocesses in the task manager and restart spotify again.

I have the same problem, since the last update. I also tried all the options Rawgi has been mentioning. It is really annoying. FYI I use the desktop app in Windows 10.
I hope your software developers can do something about this to fix this problem.
Kind Regards from a real music lover 😎🎧🎶

Same issue, first noticed today that any search returns "No results found". Tried reinstalling, restarting, cleaning Roaming folder before reinstall. Search just does not work. Win10/Desktop app here.

Quick info: was able to find workaround by searching on a phone and then playing on my desktop, but this is ridiculous.

This is not the same issue, the search function on desktop is broken.
