options (optional)	Object	Specifies options for the requested resources based on the unavailable_products and fields settings.
unavailable_products (optional)	String	Specifies whether to display results for unavailable products. The three possible options are show, hide, and last. Set to last to display unavailable products below other matching results. Set to hide to filter out unavailable products from the search results. Default: last.

The default fields searched on are: title, product_type, variants.title, and vendor. For the best search experience, we recommend searching on the default field set or as few fields as possible.
