Apple Music not searching outside my library

I cannot seem to get Apple Music to search outside My Library to the broader Apple Music Library. I can browse, just not search. Help I find online says to go to Setting/Music; but there is no Music menu under Settings (Apple Music app on Android). Can anyone suggest what I am missing?

Sorry I can't speak for Apple Music on Android, but on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, when you tap in the Search field there is an option for you to choose either "Your Library" or "Apple Music". It is not in Settings, it shows in the Apple Music app when you tap Search. I would suspect that to be similar for you, but cannot confirm. Maybe someone else will be able to chime in who has an Android device to verify.
