Apple Music Search Feature

Hello, I am a professional musician that has always used iTunes as a very convenient way of storing and retrieving musical ideas .


Since I downloaded Catalina yesterday and see that iTunes is now Apple Music, my way of cataloguing and searching for in my music no longer works.


I tag each song with metadata in the Description column for easy finding, but I now notice that the Search feature only searches for titles and nothing else.


Also, when I click on an item in a search, instead of playing that track, it takes me to the album that it's on and I have to search it again.


Finally, I prefer to view everything in the "song" browser, which the small, database-like columns, which I can't seem to do with the search.


Does anyone know any ways around this? I'm going a bit mad!


Thanks in advance.
