Hey, I'm having a similar problem where it looks like something has changed with the YouTube Music API.

I was previously using YTMusic.search() passing a track_id as my query, which would return an array containing the results objects (I use search() rather than get_song() because it returns additional information that get_song() doesn't have). Now, calling YTMusic.search(track_id) returns an empty array. I discovered that appending a filter param fixes this behaviour. YTMusic.search(track_id, filter='songs') returns the same results I had previously.

Maybe this is of help to you.

thank you for the answer but it's not related to what you said. What I'm saying is that it's still a problem with parsing, please help with this..@sigma67

from ytmusicapi import YTMusic

ytmusic = YTMusic()
search = ytmusic.search('Taylor+Swift+Blank+Space', filter='songs')
print(search);

When filter = 'songs' it appears in videos between songs as a result

i tested it and i write here what is not working correctly,
1.) Top result not working.
2.) When searching, the correct results do not come when there is a limit of more than 20. @sigma67

There have been multiple issues on search without filters, but I haven't seen them on my end yet. You can only get more than 20 results if using filters.

Top result format seems to have changed, so that may indeed be a bug.
