My Question or Issue

You cannot search for songs in your "downloaded" sections UNLESS they are in liked songs. But what if you already have a bunch of downloaded albums that arent automatically added to liked songs? I really hope this is an issue that has already been tackled, since I don't really want to go through my huge library and manually add everything to liked songs. Hopefully there's a way you can just access and search throughout the entire library like apple music.

Hi there @wintrsvoid,

Thanks for reaching out.

Searching downloaded content while offline is possible but some functionality isn't available as it relies on the internet connection. So we can say for sure what is or isn't possible and help you troubleshoot this further, could you please clarify exactly what you're trying to do? Which search option are you using? Are you searching by artists, albums or songs? 

If possible, please make a screen recording of the exact steps you follow and send it to us so we can look into this and try and reproduce. If the files are too large to attach here in the Community, you can send them to us via Google Drive or as unlisted YouTube videos.
 

Keep us posted.
