Unable to search Music on my Macbook
Anytime I try to search for music, it keeps referring me to my library and doesn't search for new songs. Please what can I do to remedy this?

OK Lawrence,
If you want to search the Apple Music catalog, make sure to click the box at upper right for "Apple Music." See details in here:

Hmm, I am running an older version, but this may be a bug in a newer version. Just to make sure, in Music Preferences > General, do you still have a checkmark/tickmark for "Apple Music"?
Hi,
Are you still using MacOS 14.1. If so, I suggest you update to 14.3.
Jim
I can't see that option. It used to be there before, but it vanished suddenly
I am using 14.1. I didn't know it had updates, I'll do that now
