Hello.

In Japanese, we met the same problem. Unable to find tracks.

1. https://developer.spotify.com/console/get-search-item/?q=%E3%82%B5%E3%82%AB%E3%83%8A%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3&type=track&market=&limit=&offset= q=サカナクション type=track works well. "サカナクション"(Sakanaction) is an artist in Japanese.

2. https://developer.spotify.com/console/get-search-item/?q=track:aoi+artist:sakanaction&type=track&market=&limit=&offset= q=track:aoi artist:sakanaction type=track also works well. "Aoi" is a work of Sakanaction.

3. https://developer.spotify.com/console/get-search-item/?q=track:aoi+artist:%E3%82%B5%E3%82%AB%E3%83%8A%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3&type=track&market=&limit=&offset= q=track:aoi artist:サカナクション type=track does not work. Nothing matches.

Following is the response.
