Hey @hpguru yes we are aware of this, but the team has been working on it and you should be able to see improvements very soon :wink:

Search is very bad on Deezer.

It is better than YouTube Music. But it does not find sometimes when correct details. Especially nowadays I can not find most releases within it. I need to try extra hard to get there.

As well artist pages may not show all releases.

I’s really frustrating from music app.

I finally decided this month to leave Deezer and Now I stream elsewhere. Search works.

And so does everything else :)

I’ve been Deezer coustomer for 1 year and 3 months.

I’ll stay for the time being, despite the bugs. The Q sucks everywhere else. It’s either this or a disc every month or so… but this is a research tool. How do you find what you want? And then, one or two songs from a disc is pretty common, so… I don’t know. I was listening to Kenny Rogers’s album. “You can’t make old friends” and my speakers sounded muddy. But I tired listening to the .wav files on my own system. Night and day. So, I dunno. Sometimes good, sometime bad. Look for the Candace Recordings of the Everly Brothers. They’ve got to have it but how to find it???

@dgoorevitch I am sorry about that and I hope we can have a better search bar in the future that recognises misspellings as it happened to you (Rogers instead of Rodgers) 
In the meantime you can vote and support the idea in the Community: 

Thanks

@Jaime. 

It's ridiculous that you except people to vote on poorly developed things, that Deezer should polish in the first place. Why should we thumbs up something, in order for you to work on it?

You guys are really out of touch with the customers. Absolutely ridiculous...

That’s not the right album. I’m talking about Ella, not Kenny (see head post).  I posted in the wrong place about the muddy Kenny Rogers albume. Different issu.

The thing is, even if it isn’t adapting to misspellings, you’d still expect the search to find a partial match.

Hello @Gaffer13 Thanks for your feedback!

You can usually find the song, artist, playlists, etc. you are looking for by typing usually the first word or first letters of the name of your favourite artist, song, playlists, etc.

They will probably come up sorted by most common or most famous search by users.

I’ve found out that on the web browser/desktop version, you can have more range/options of results.

Enjoy Deezer!! :flashlight:

Why “usually?” That’s not a first-rate search engine. It’s just plain bad. Every song, album, and artist should be cross-referenced. This is amateurish. Now I see why things don’t improve. You folks seem to pretend that problems aren’t problems. That’s the way to stop growing. But maybe you’re bait and trying to get bought out by the big fish. I don’t pretend to know the biz plan.

You were saying? This album was a LOT of work to find. Very inconvenient and it happens to me a lot.
