iTunes - How do I turn off the preference to search or browse in iCloud?

[machenryr]

PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I KILL SOMETHING! Sorry for yelling. I HATE iTunes. I have an extensive library NOT in iCloud. They're files on my computer - my playlists are 99.9% actual files. I purchase ALL of my own music. Now in Mojave when I search it goes to BROWSE no matter what I do and takes me to various artists and ways to purchase the song. I JUST want to search in MY LIBRARY. Now I've been very careful to NOT select store my music in iCloud, but after upgrading to Mojave I didn't check this out until now. And I see it was selected for me. I don't WANT these music files in the cloud.

I just deselected storing music in iCloud and removed listening history because I don't USE Apple Music. Now when I search it still takes me to BROWSE instead of searching my OWN library.

HELP. I'm getting very angry. LOL.

OK. OK. Simmering down. When I updated to Mojave I changed my boot drive to a SSD PCIe . And I moved iTunes to another internal SSD. But it's changed. I must've done something wrong because it's not there. ??? It's still on my original drive. Investigating.
