Configuring HierarchicalMenu and Autocomplete in React

TLDR gab needed guidance on configuring index-related components. Jason advised using different Configure widgets, and helped with the correct usage in React.

Hi,
I'm using the connectHierarchicalMenu connector. It is forging "automatically" the appropriate query while navigating inside tree.
It is overrding some default properties I have set in collectionSpecificSearchParameters .
For instance maxFacetValues is overrided to be 10
How can I modify this?

I just found the limit argument is used to populate maxFacetValues .

My question still remains in following case: I'm using an autocomplete and the hierarchical menu. Both will use the default same config for a given index.
How would I tune an index relative to the component that will use it?

gab You can nest different widgets inside separate configure widgets and have different settings apply for each widget

Not so sure about what it means in React.
Does it means something like this :thinking_face: ?

 <Configure q={'*'}>
   <HierarchicalMenu/>
 </Configure>
