iTunes won't search for music

My itunes will no longer search for music by artist or album title. It will search by song, but nothing else. I use iTunes on a Lenovo PC Laptop, and use Windows 10.

Windows, Windows 6

itunes I cannot search my iTunes library for specific songs. The default is the iTunes store. On the upper right-hand side of the screen there used to be a way to toggle between Library/iTunes/Music and that has disappeared. No matter how I click on the search bar on the left-hand side it only allows me to search the iTunes store.
