Spotify Playlists Not Accessible via Apple Search and Spotlight on iOS

[scroodgets]

Description:

As a Spotify user on iOS, I am unable to search for or access Spotify playlists through Apple's native Search and Spotlight features.

Expected Behavior:

- Spotify playlists should be searchable through iOS Spotlight search

- Playlists should appear in search results when using system-wide search

- Quick access to playlists through Spotlight, similar to how Apple Music playlists are accessible

Current Behavior:

- Spotify playlists do not appear in Spotlight search results

- Unable to find or access Spotify playlists through system-wide search

- No integration between Spotify playlist content and iOS search functionality

Device Information:

- Platform: iOS

- Feature: Apple Search/Spotlight

- App: Spotify

Impact:

- Reduced accessibility to user's playlist library

- Slower navigation to desired playlists

- Inconsistent search experience compared to native music apps

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install Spotify on iOS device

2. Create or save playlists in Spotify

3. Swipe down on home screen to access Spotlight search

4. Try to search for a Spotify playlist
