Apple Music Search function in Music to reset from store to library.

[machenryr]

Basic question but it’s something that’s been very frustrating and I can’t figure it out. The search function. I want to search my library but instead it selected iTunes Store. I don’t know how to reset or redirect this to my library. When I first open the music browser I see three selections: library, store or Apple Music. I think. I don’t want to have to quit the browser each time. How do I go from store to library? Thanks.

Nobody? Maybe it’s just broken on my 2019 Mac Pro Monterey. At the start I can use the back arrow to get the three choices but then it’s no longer available. ?

Wow! I still can’t find a solution for this. Either it’s evidence that I’m a moron or everybody see this and have no solution. I can quit “Music” and it will come back with my library as searchable. But if I ever search the store I can’t seem to get back to my library. I have a TON of music in my library. That’s where I want to search 95% of the time. But 80% of the time I can’t because Apple wants me to search their store or Apple Music. I don’t really use Apple Music. I’m talking iTunes.

Seeing your post reminded me I needed to find out this also, lol.
When you open the app, click in the search bar and you will see to the far right
Apple Music, Library and store, make your choice and type in the search bar.

I just tried clicking on a selection on the left side and clicking in the search bar and that will show the choices on the far right also.

Thanks. Yes but no. That happens initially but if I search library or store I can’t get BACK to the other search. IOW if I search my library after launch it’s fine. Then if I want to search the store it might be fine. But then if I want to go BACK to search my library it’s a no go.

I might be misunderstanding but I tried searching for a artist, then searching in library, store and music. Clicked on different playlists and clicked in the search field.
When I clicked in the search field to the far right this appeared again

and I was able to search in one of these locations again. Those search fields leave when looking elsewhere in the app.
