TLDR Maaz reports that refinements get cleared when closing a drawer or dialog, citing a related GitHub issue. Jason suggests it is an issue in react-instantsearch, beyond Typesense's control.

I haven’t seen this happen in any of our demo apps that use instantsearch.js…

For eg, click on a filter on this page, then click on “Find Similar” under any product and then close the modal, the filter still remains the same

Your demo app in not unmounting the dialog, it is just hiding it using "display:none".

This seems like an issue in react-instanstantsearch. So they have to fix it and we can’t do much on the Typesense side.
