Hey Guys, I have instant search question i’ve been googling but didn’t get any results - is it possible to destroy an instant search instance ? Use case is i have a menu of collections and I want to destroy and re-init the instant search instance

Could you try the standard JS delete keyword?

Do you mean to delete the widgets and hits manually ?

Yeah, but I'm wondering if just deleting the main instantsearch object would suffice

Tried deleting main instantSeach object - that hasnt worked, and i am a bit wary of deleting manually as something might be skipped or overlooked

What if you just assign a new instantsearch instance to the existing variable? May be the automated GC will take care of deleting the necessary stuff then

Tried doing that - hasnt worked, the widgets from previous instance still remain

May be something like this: https://github.com/algolia/instantsearch.js/issues/1206#issuecomment-241670437

Thanks will check it out and will update here if i find a better solution too

Good to know! Thanks Digamber!
