Search
Find what you’re looking for with Search, including:
- Songs
- Albums
- Artists
- Playlists
- Podcast shows and episodes
On mobile and tablet, you can also use Search to browse categories such as genres, moods, charts, and new releases. Find Radio and Concerts here too.
Lyrics search
If you don’t know a song’s title, search at least 3 words from its lyrics. Songs with those lyrics show Lyrics match in the results.
Advanced search
Enter your search term in quotation marks “” to narrow results to exact matches, e.g. “Let’s Dance”.
You can also enter any of these before your search term to narrow the results.
| Search tag | Example | Description |
| year: | year:1969 year:1978-1984 | Displays music from a particular year. You can also enter a range of years. |
| genre: | genre:rock | Displays music in the genre matching keyword. |
| label: | label:domino | Displays music released by the label matching keyword. |
Exclude or add search terms
Refine your search with AND and NOT, for example:
- Kyuss AND Green - Displays results with keywords 'Kyuss' and 'Green'.
- Metallica NOT Anger - Displays all Metallica tracks except with the word 'Anger'.
Tip: You can also use + or - instead of AND or NOT.
Combine searches
Use any combination of the advanced search options to find exactly what you want.
- Search for a range of years but exclude some - year:1989-2013 NOT year:1993
- Find music by genre and year - genre:metal AND year:1932
Tip: This particular example may not yield many results!
