I’m using Shopify’s Search and Discovery app for search functionality, and I need to customize the filter section. For instance, when a customer selects a filter and chooses a size (e.g., size 34), if a particular product in size 34 is out of stock, it is still listed. This defeats the purpose of the filter. How can I hide out-of-stock products in the filter section when the particular filter option is selected?
