Which web search engine are you using?  Google, DuckDuckGo, Brave,
Bing, etc:

Or, are you using the web site's server search feature to look for
products available from a specific web vendor?  I guess that might be
what you mean by an "*etail* site.

Exactly.  I'm going to PICK UP an item, today.  Which store will I drive
to?  Which carries the item?  Which has it IN STOCK?  Where, in the store,
is it located?

You didn't answer my question.  Are you:
[ ]  searching the entire internet?
[ ]  searching the vendors shopping site?

I already offered a few suggestions for searching the entire internet
with your choice of web search page and search options.  However, I
can't offer any advice on how to customize a shopping site, which is
under the control of the vendor.

As for "going to pickup an item today", I don't do much of that.  I
usually have the vendor ship me my purchases.  In general, the
inventory is accurate for items that use commercial delivery services
(i.e. automated warehouse).  I can't say the same for store inventory,
which is subject to various types of shrinkage, such as theft,
mis-filing, hidden behind other items, customer return problems,
packaging damage, open boxes, etc.
