S2 - new search dont show NAS music library

I have a Sonos system with a Western Digital NAS, and in the spring I upgraded Sonos to S2.
From the S2 app, I can see my NAS and select albums, songs, etc. I can also search ("classic search") and get results from both Spotify, TuneIn, etc. - incl. my NAS's "music library".
But when I select "try the new search" - I get no results from my NAS.
Others who have experienced the same?
Is there a solution, or is it a "feature" - where Sonos "forgets" that there are also NAS users among their customers?
(playback from the NAS is no problem, so I don't think it's a "protocol problem")

It seems Sonos haven’t included the local library search ‘by design’ - my own personal thoughts are that the Sonos developers may have other plans in this area, perhaps🤔, but as many community users know, Sonos very rarely announce their development roadmap in advance.

My own workaround method has been to use Plex to index/share my local library, as that service is available in the new Sonos search, otherwise you will have to just switch back to the (still available) ‘classic search’ instead.
