How to access MFP food database?

How can I access MyFitnessPal or USDA food database instead of my own small set of saved foods? I simply want to add blueberries as a snack and it keeps searching my own small food database, which does not contain blueberries in it. I want to search the MyFitnessPal / USDA food database instead. So how do I access the MFP food database from my food diary page? Is there a setting I have to change? Using the sign in the big blue circle didn't help. I recently started logging in after about 12 months away from the app so now I'm confused. I'm using the app on my Android phone.

    When you go to add food, just make sure you hit the Enter or Search button. This will bring up the MFP database.
