My Question or Issue

https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?q=track:Chiquitita%20artist:ABBA&type=track

 

It returns me no data.

 

But it only works with such a search:
https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?q=Chiquitita Abba&type=track

 

According to the documentation: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/search

 

They say: The artist and year filters can be used while searching albums, artists and tracks. The isrc and track filters can be used while searching tracks.

It is flaky - I remember I had this issue in the past. It sometimes work, but sometimes it returns no data.
