Spotify on my Android: Search - nothing happens. Why?

[DanSpotify]

Spotify on my Android: Whenever I try to find an album, artist or song through the regular "Search" option nothing happens. Spotify just "tries" for like one minute (the circular indicator indicating it is doing something...) and then I get the message "Hoppsan! Något är fel." (translates something like "Oups! Something is wrong" from Swedish to English).

Why does it not work? It has been like this for months and it is incredibly irritating!
