not sure if this is the correct section to post this.

A few days ago, when searching through my inventory, the search results at the top of the page where it normally just shows title and qty in stock, was also showing the retail price and draft/active status. Now, that info is no longer shown? It was super handy to have it, and reduced my time for checking inventory, duplicates, pricing, etc and I would love to get it back - I did ask shopify assistant (real person not ai bot) but they had no clue what I was talking about!
