We've expanded the resources that you can query by metafield value to include Companies and Company Locations. We've also expanded how you can query metafield values on Products, Orders, and Metaobject entries to include:

* Greater than and less than comparisons
* Prefix matching
* Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT)

These work across more metafield types than before. No more fetching all resources and iterating through metafield values client-side. You can filter directly in your queries, and the query options now match how other properties are searchable on resources.
