Search function in Apple TV Emby client should allow library search

I'm new to Emby & have been editing my collection to "play nicely" with Emmy's different requirements from my last server (Synology Video Station).  I am finding some features to be quite superior.  However, when I wanted to watch a specific movie using the Emby client on my Apple TV device, I was not able to search for a specific movie in my library.

The main screen when Emby is first open has 4 options: HOME,  FAVORITES,  SEARCH,  SETTINGS.  HOME will take me to my library, FAVORITES to the movies/shows in my library that I have favorited, but search finds movie options on the web (available through various streaming services).  While I understand this may be a feature of EMBY (and a revenue source), I can't seem to find an equivalent search function that only searches my library content.

ADDITION TO PREVIOUS POST (the ellipses would not allow me to edit it):

In my Emby client on my iPhone, there are 5 options in the bottom bar, including SEARCH.  This search function only searches my library (which is what I wanted).  However, if the web search IS a source of income for you, you may want to add it as an option somewhere.

Hi, yes, library specific search is planned for future updates. Thanks.
