First, I'm finally glad to see that spotlight is finally returning music results, which it didn't for the entirety of iOS 8 (see this thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/iphone-5s-painful-slow-spotlight-search.1790735/)

However, I've noticed two problems with music results in spotlight:

1) It only returns a selection of the results, rather than showing all of the results as it had previously done. Any way to change this? The ONLY app I have selected to search with spotlight is Music. For example, if searching all music by "Pink Floyd", it only returns a few of their songs even after hitting "Show More".

2) When clicking on the result, all it does it take you to the music app. It doesn't even take you to the song. Anyone else experience this? If you want to PLAY the song from the spotlight results, you can click on the little 'play' icon in the list of results, but clicking on the actual song takes you to the Music app rather than the song.
