Product search in admin not working as well as it used to

Hey devs-

 

Some time in the last few days, the search function in the admin seems to have changed - and not for the better. 😕  Pardon my lack of technical terms, but when you search using multiple terms, it now includes results for each word, as if using "OR", rather than "AND" (although the frontend still works correctly).

 

For example, if I search my shop for essential logic precious on the frontend, it displays the single result in my catalog, as expected. As of a few days ago, however, when I use that same string in the admin, it returns every product containing any (but not all) of those terms, which is incredibly unhelpful when wading through 100+ results! And this seems to be happening on the products, inventory and orders pages (at least, those were the only three I tried). Can you revert the search function in the admin back to the way it was as soon as possible, please, as this is severely impacting the efficiency of my workflow...

Not helpful at all, I'm afraid; I just need Shopify to fix what they broke...
