Use filters to find songs in Music on Mac
When you have a large number of songs, albums, or playlists in your music library, you can filter it to find the music you’re looking for quickly. For example, type “love” in the filter and results where “love” is in the title, artist, or album name appear.

The songs in the list include the word “love” in their title, artist, or album name.](https://help.apple.com/assets/65A1EC54C6387041B504B41B/65A1EC558C4441D03A098A52/en_US/1c4e3cde8f2a188f46f9322b6033df85.png)
