To get around the problem of the search function using predictive strategies where it thinks it knows what you want and pre-fills the search field as you type, I do the following and it works. First check the radio button for library search instead of Apple music search. Then you can type in your search term without the predictive strategy. Then, with the search field filled in reselect the Apple Music radio button and it’ll perform as expected. Sent from my IPhone
