Search results in Awesome Bar do not show tags next to bookmarks anymore, how to re-enable it again?

For many years FF had a great feature: start typing in address bar (awesome bar now) and it will search within bookmarks, and in a drop-down list of results next to each bookmark there was list of tags, all the tags for each bookmark. It's very convenient and even was pitched as an advance FF feature.

Some time ago it stopped working (I think around version 51). I still get a list of bookmarks and if I typed a particular tag it will be searched by, and that one tag will be shown and highlighted, but all other tags are not shown any more.

Is there a way to re-enable the original behavior?

I tried disabling all extensions, creating a fresh user profile and even with the all new and fresh FF I can't get to display those tags.

please help, thank you
