Can't search creature type

I was trying to keep thematic with my campaign in certain sections. I don't know when, but now you can't search the compendium by creature type. You can search my CR, Size, alignment, and weirdly by the books they are in. The creature type is no where, and I am pretty sure we could search by type and it had multiple fields like different types of fiends or different shapeshifters ect.  I do see the benefits to using the other searches when applicable, but when you need a celestial creature and you have a bunch of books to pull from.... searching it by type is ideal. Is that coming back? Or was removed by accident because of the updates to the compendium?

Hi Dustin L.,  This is an issue with the New Compendium. If you switch to the old compendium you can still search by those things. 
not sure how to switch to the old compendium

You can switch to the old compendium by going to the My Settings tab inside one of your games. Open Personalization, then flip the switch on the Compendium to off.
Thanks!
Welp, that didn't work. Found the new compendium and turned off the slider, still no creature type search

Could you show me a screenshot of the search? Edit: I tested it in my own game and still have creature type search in the old compendium.

How I am getting to that:  Click on Compendium Click on Monsters Wait for category to load (important step) Go to the top right corner, click on Filter Search In the popup set the settings you want, including Type.  Note: remove No Language as that artificially restricts the search. 
ookay, yeah it seems to be working now? But it is strange. Thanks again! I guess I had to restart my pc or something for it. Could have been an update to the session needed to take place.
Why aren't we able to search monsters by type in the compendium still? It's an insult that this function isn't in yet. 
Did you try the solution that Gauss posted above (two posts before yours)? DM | YT said: Why aren't we able to search monsters by type in the compendium still? It's an insult that this function isn't in yet.
