If you are using [item-data] then it doesn't matter how ProductFiles is
set. I would assume that in addition to searches, the goal of using
ProductFiles is to make the the features that are based on data like price
and weight in a products file (e.g. shopping cart, checkout, shipping)
work across multiple files. Has anyone made this work in 3.14?
