How do I search the iTunes Store on a Mac?
I have a new Mac Book Air (M2) and am running Monterey 12.6 and Music 1.2.5.7. I do not have an Apple Music subscription by choice (bad experience) and I don't have it enabled in the Music app. I followed the steps an expert provided in another thread that asked this same question. The problem is, I cannot find a way to search at all. If I select my search button, it does not show the search boxes for the location in the upper right corner. It only will search my library. I do have iTunes selected in Music > Preferences > General. Although the iTunes Store link appears on the left of my main screen in Music, when I click the search box it says "Searching your library". I cannot find a way to change that. If I click on the left menu for iTunes Store, there's no search box there either.
I am new to Mac and I apologize if I'm missing something obvious. I do not have this problem in my Music app on my Windows PC. If I want to search the iTunes Store, I have to use my phone or my Windows PC. The only app I see for music on my Mac is the Music app. I do not see iTunes Store as an app available for download, at least for my OS.
