[iOS][Search] Ignore "Feat." in search bar

[iOS][Search] Ignore "Feat." in search bar

When I Shazam a song, it often happens that a track title has the following format:

"Song Title - Artist Feat. Singer"

Then, when I press Open Spotify it will copy that track title into the search bar. And VERY often, Spotify is unable to find the track. I have to manually try to find the word Feat. and position the cursor at the period mark and start deleting characters. Then, when the word Feat. is deleted, all of a sudden Spotify CAN find the track. When you have to do this often, it is getting quite tedious.

Which lead me to think:

How hard is it to just ignore the word "Feat." and other variations?

It would make a lot of difference for people using Shazam -> Spotify!

Btw, I am using iPhone.

Thank you for considering my idea.

Hey there @DaBoez,

 

Thanks for reaching out about this here in the Community. 

 

We moved your post from the Ideas board to the relevant Help board, where it fits better.

 

We tried this on our end and we weren't able to replicate the issue. 

 

In this case, could you send us a screen recording of the issue happening so we can take a closer look? You can send a link to it or attach it using the Insert Video option in the post editor.

 

Additionally, would you mind sending us the exact make/model, operating system and Spotify version of your device?

 

We'll be on the lookout.
