Please turn off Apple Music search default

Why did Apple change the default music search to Apple Music instead of library? I do NOT want to subscribe to Apple Music and it’s a pain having to change to every time I search for a song. Why is the a toggle on-off for Apple Music that doesn’t turn it off? Please fix this. All it has done is make me hate Apple Music and never want to use it.

iPhone 13, iOS 26

No one from Apple here - it's a user forum. No one can tell you why Apple does something.

You said you wanted it fixed so you need to tell Apple. Apple don't read these boards so if no one gives them feedback they'll assume that everyone likes the way the new Music app works. I gave you a link to give them feedback. How is that not helpful?

It was the only appropriate answer (other than simply ignoring them!).
