Searching in Apple Music is incredibly pathetic.

For example, I search, in iTunes, for "yesterday", click on Songs>See all and I get 37 results. "All"? Five of the results are for something other than songs titled "Yesterday". The Lennon/McCartney song "Yesterday" has been recorded over 3000 times and I'm pretty sure there would be a few hundred versions on Apple Music, if not more. If you know a certain artist recorded a song titled "Yesterday" you can dig it up but that's about it.

I sent feedback to Apple and if it bugs you please do the same.

Stronger database searching existed long before Apple Computer itself.

I have noticed this as well. General searches tend to display only a portion of what Apple Music has. But if you know your specific title/artist and put that in the search it will usually find it (if it's in their library).
