iTunes Search Pops To iTunes Store Not My Library

What is it they say about doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome?

As I insanely keep picking at this scab ...

I just noticed it seems:

• when I am in the Song View the search box delivers search of My Library.

• in Album View etc. the search delivers the iTunes Store.

Oh man! :-)

Looks like I spoke too soon.

Just playing an Esther Phillips song I wondered what else I have by her in my library.

I typed her name in the top right search box. And did not have the Apple Music / Library / iTunes Store options.

It just kicked me to the Store

If I do the Command / Option / F thing and type in that top right box I see the two songs I have.

Neither search is great for my needs but not knowing when / how / why ... I get these options drives me nuts :-)

Who knows? ! :-)

Thanks for sticking with me ed2345

Okay, sticking with you and with Esther ...

Typing in the search box gets me:

Then I clicked on the <

Basically the same thing.

Then I cleared the search window and entered Ester again. And now I'm in my library.

This time when I click the <

I go to the compilation in my library that has "Release Me" by Esther.

Goofy!

And at no point was I offered that "Apple Music / Your Library / iTunes Store" option. (But sometimes I do :-) )

I've found the search pretty wonky since we went from the iTunes app to Music but this stuff is next level wierd. If there is something I'm doing to trigger different outcomes I'm ****** if I can figure out what it is.

As I did before ...

I just quit and relainched iTunes and the search shows my Library not the store.

So maybe there is something wonky with 1.2.2.40 or my set up has become corrupted.

Go figure.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Got it -- Thanks Ed

No idea what I do to kick it into that Store search.

Fingers crossed.

Thanks
