The new Search update we got just a few days ago has a few tricks up its sleeve that we weren’t aware of. One such trick is that a new card will appear to show you when an item you’ve searched for is in stock nearby. 

The simplicity of the card is helpful enough, though it’s hard to say whether or not it will still appear if you’ve already purchased the listed item.
