No longer able to search music by keyword? (itunes 12.2)

I just upgraded to itunes 12.2, the latest version. I'm trying to search for a song in my library and it is not working. Do I have to type the specific song name or artist? This is horrible, because in the old version I could type in the genre, and the title, and find my song. Now, it says no matches in library, when I know it's there. What is going on? Is it because now there's an option to search the store in the search field too?

I'm having the exact same problem now too. If I search for an artist name only it works but if I search for an artist and song name together it gives no results. Hope someone can find a solution for this as it's quite painful.

Update: I just managed to fix mine by clicking on search and unticking the option to search entire library. Now it will return results for me 🙂

As given above untick the option to Search Entire Library if it is selected. Also switch to the Songs view and enable any column such as Genre whose text you want included in the search.
