Searching for artist does only work indirectly?

I wanted to test the deezer search by searching for this song: “the Final countdown” by “Europe”.

Searching for “Europe” did not result in any hits, nor did “Final countdown” or “Final”. But when I search for “Countdown” it would show Europe - The final countdown.

 

Is it me or does Deezer need to improve  its search algorithm? on other Streaming services I would get direct hits with Final countdown, Final count down, europe etc. Also the artist search function seems a bit limited in that respect. See below for details. I would be happy if you could improve this search quality.

 

No Europe?
nothing yet

 

now it succeeds?

Hi ​@MvdB !

I tested on my Desktop to search Europe and immediately Europe artist appeared .
 

 

 

Then I search word final and in my search, and it was showing on second place
 

 

 

I don't know why showing bad search results at you !?

Hi ​@Nina Nebo Thank you for testing! Although your test result confuses me, it at least helped to see that it is local, thank you for that.

Maybe Deezer has local limitations?

@MvdB 

Deezer only has limited albums, songs or artists that are not available in some countries. Usually their image is grayed out and won't play, but I don't think that has anything to do with this search.

Hi,

I live in Europe and search seems to be functioning as expected since today. Previously it didn’t matter which browser I picked it would not work, and now it functions.

Either I ran into a glitch, or search needs time to ramp up for new users or whatsoever.


Thank you for the feedback :)
