[Search] Songs searched by their lyrics

[Search] Songs searched by their lyrics

What if you could find songs by their lyrics in the search field?
In theory, it's not that difficult either, you just have to use the new feature of the lyrics. If you could save the lyrics as search terms, you could simply enter one or more words of the song in the search field and get your result.
Probably someone had the idea before me but I hope it helps you anyway.

 

(im german and below its the same text in german -> easyer to understand the meaning)

 

Was wäre wenn man Songs anhand ihrer Texte im Suchfeld finden könnte?
Theoretisch ist das auch nicht so schwer, man müsste nur das neue Feature der Songtexte nutzen. Wenn man die Songtexte als Suchbegriffe speichern könnte, könnte man im Suchfeld einfach ein oder mehrere Wörter des Songs eingeben und bekommt sein Ergebniss.
Wahrscheinlich hatte die Idee schon jemand vor mir aber ich hoffe es hilft euch trotzdem.

Hey there @mxcano,

 

Thanks for reaching out here in the Community!

 

We moved your post from Ideas to the help boards since it's already possible to search songs with just Lyrics. If you don't know the name of a song, just type at least 3 words from it in the Search bar and the songs with those lyrics will show "Lyrics match" in the results.

 

Hope this helps. If anything else comes up, the Community will be here.

 

Cheers!

My Question or Issue

Today i wanted to listen to a song and i tried to wrote one lyric bc im kinda tired of writing the song and the artist names together but when i searched it, it didnt appear. I checked my spelling and tried to search for another song but it doesnt appear still. The songs i tried to search with the lyrics were: Off by Diorama (tried with "the power is off" and even add "don't be concerned the power is off"), Synthesize Me also by them (with "i need to start again i need to make it different" and even the chorus lyrics "my skin's intact" and "i'm only staring at the blade"), tried to search other artists songs to see if the problem was spefic with the Diorama music but still no results, i search for Artifical Sun Projection by Scar Symmetry ("an invented sun"), Royd by Coma Alliance ("I'm your toxic symmetry") and Repaint by RAISE A SUILEN ("a lot of people a number of words"). None of the songs listed appeared when searching espeficilly for the lyrics. When trying to search in edge without an account it appears for some reason. An example here with the first two lyrics from Repaint: 

 

Please someone help, its getting really annoying.

 

Edit: great, they put my PROBLEM i had with search instead of making it a separated topic. For God's sake, first stop putting a specific problem on a topic from 3 YEARS AGO, second yall ignored me, not the first time it happens, i had to contact support and they did absolutely NOTHING. Please, yall are so lazy to respond, i checked google when i had this problem and there was NOTHING about it specifically. It was probably something with my account and yall didn't even said a word. Please

Dear Spotify Team,

 

I’ve encountered a challenge that I believe many users might share. Often, I remember lyrics from a song but not the title or artist. I think it would be fantastic if Spotify could improve its search feature to allow users to find songs by typing partial lyrics.

 

For example, searching "I keep falling down, I keep on hitting the ground" could display the song "Try Everything" in the results.

 

Thank you for considering this suggestion!
