Why is the API-Advanced-Search not able to get the song "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey as top result? #1326

Open tridelt opened 5 years ago

tridelt commented 5 years ago

Steps to reproduce:

  1. go to https://developer.spotify.com/console/get-search-item/?q=track%3A"Dont%20Stop%20Believing"%20artist%3A"Journey"&type=track&market=&limit=1&offset=

I have tried a thousand variations of advanced search, all of them give me the "ASU Sun Devil Marching band"

Expected behaviour:

to give me the popular song from Journey

Actual behaviour:

instead it gives me a cover version from the ASU Sun Devil Marching Band

No idea, but for what it's worth I can't find that song in the Spotify desktop client either.

Can you try again but this time leaving out the apostrophe? Just search for: "dont stop believing journey"

Comes up with nothing relevant for me.

If you look at the song from journey on spotify it is "Don't Stop Believin'" without the "g". I guess the API/app isn't "fuzzy" enough to return the result when more characters are added. I also was unable to get the result doing a full text search of "dont stop believing"....until I removed the "g"
