When using the predictive search query (https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/2024-01/queries/predictiveSearch) Storefront API won’t return any suggestions for queries for me. I have included PredictiveSearch****Type.QUERY in types field. Is this a known issue? Is there anything else I have to enable somewhere? All other types like collections, products, articles… are working for me.
