How do I view Apple Music search results as a list?

Before Tahoe, when I searched Apple Music (the service, from the Music App), the search results were displayed as a list which showed song titles, artist, and other stuff. With Tahoe, all I get is little bubbles that truncate everything useful about each of the results. Title truncated. Artist almost never visible. No sorting of the list. All the View options are disabled.

How do I restore the old behavior?

I tried the tip to set the DisableSolarium property on the app and that fixed the awful new playback control design and location but didn't help out the search results. Is there another property that can fix this issue too?

When I am searching Apple Music, for example for the text "summer" I am getting a list of results for different search categories.

I have to scroll down to the category "Titles". Clicking the disclosure sign "> " to the right of titles will show the song titles as a list.

Are you seeing something different?

However, this is only working when searching the iTunes Store in the Music.app, not when searching my Music Library. When searching my own Library, only the title and Artist are shown in the list, no other fields.

To search my library, I am creating a smart playlist and set the view to "Title". Then I can see all relevant data in the list of results. I am keeping a separate smart playlist just for searching my library.
