How to find specific songs and artists
You can use quotes around a search term to narrow down the results and get exact matches, eg ‘Anti-Hero’ or ‘It’s me, hello, I’m the problem’.
Spotify also allows listeners to include (use: ‘AND’ or ‘+’) or exclude (use: ‘NOT’ or ‘-‘) certain words from their search.
For example: Lady Gaga NOT Dance will show all tracks by Lady Gaga except for the word ‘Dance’.
How to combine searches
If you’re looking for songs from a certain time period, you can search for a range of years but exclude some.
For example: year:1975-2000 NOT year:1981
You can find music by genre and year by searching: genre: folk AND year: 1985
How to find a mood or music that matches your vibe
Spotify has special, curated playlists for most times of the day, activities, moods, and feelings.
You can browse the available genres and moods by scrolling through their ‘Discover’ page, or search for something else in line with what you’re looking for.
Users can simply type words like ‘happy’, ‘exercise’, ‘dance party’, ‘long bath’ and more.
You can use quotes around a search term to limit results for exact matches, for example, “I adore you” or “You’re a stunner under a summer sky.”
Thousands are surprised that they never knew they could use the search bar for such specific functions.
‘This is a great hack, I won’t have to go through Google search results pages anymore!’
‘I’m blown away, I’ll definitely wear this.’
