Hi

 

When I use the search function, the amount of results is always 300 or less.

(in Browser and Desktop app)

Is it limited to 300 or is this just happening to me?

More results would be so much better.

 

Best Regards

Hi there @Bushito 

Yes we do limit the number of results returned, for performances reasons (and also because if your result isn't in the first 100s, quite unlikely you’ll find it afterwards :wink:

In any case, your feedback is very welcome so I'll be passing your comments straight away :thumbsup_tone2:

I just realised this when one year customer.

The 300 limit is not as good as I thought it to be. Sometimes I want to search ALL releases from artist. I posted S3RL and it returned with 300 tracks. He has more, remixed too, I think it needs work.

The fact that it can show same tracks over and over which leaves no room for the rest.

I hope it can be looked into as search in general needs improvements too.

Main problems with search 2021 at Deezer:

  1. 300 limit on each search tab.
  2. Does not find anything if you have a typo somewhere.
  3. Returns with lots of cover and karaoke bands.
  4. Lyrics does not work for all songs. Only if they have lyrics.
  5. Does not find exactly what you want, does not add with Did you mean?

It’s much better than YTM search, but there’s room for improvement.

Is there any option to see ALL releases, remixes, albums by artist? I think it’s not just me who wants to use search this way and wait it work. So you can see and listen all the repertoire on one go.

Good points here @hpguru I like the feedback on this!

I'll be passing it on to our Search teams :wink:

I would also prefer longer search result lists, e.g. when searching for albums released by a specific label I only get 300 albums, but the label has released more albums than that which are also available on Deezer, but not shown to me.
