08:47 AMI want to implement search feature on users favorite items.
Each user has a field in their document - favoriteItems which is array of strings that are references to the documents.
Is there a way to pass that array to react instant search, so it could create a filter based on the document Id, so that it would only search for documents that are within that array.
And if there is such functionality, is there a limit to or I can add array with 100+ items in it.
