How can I make an inquiry (search) of my album collection by the composer? I have a large collection of classical music and this type of search will be very helpful. Thanks

Plex doesn’t fully use the proper tags in a meaningful way, it’s not possible unless you use the composer either in Album Artist or Artist tags.

Tracks can have album artist and track artists. You would need to pick one to use for the composer. Both should be searchable

Search by Album Composer
