I tested using the new "filters" feature instead of "facetFilters" and it seems to not get overridden, will test a bit more to see if this is a solution but I think facetFilters on configure still needs to be looked into a bit

@Phil This is intended behavior. The 2nd half of this comment has more context: https://github.com/typesense/typesense-instantsearch-adapter/issues/110#issuecomment-1112633962

thanks so much for looking into it, I was able to get it working with filters
