Handling Two Collections in One Filter Widget with React-InstantSearch
TLDR Lina wanted to handle two collections in one filter widget. Jason suggested that react-instantsearch doesn't support this and a custom widget might be needed.

12:04 PMI've got a question. I need to handle 2 collections in 1 filter widget. Could you tell, is it possible?
So I have two collections with similar fields. For example:
collection_1 : id, category, status ...
collection_2 : id, category, status ...
Category may have different values. One of the possible values is General.
I need:
1. Show General option in the filter
2. When this option is selected, show General items from collection_1, but don't show General items from collection_2
Right now I came up with this solution: I'm displaying filters from collection_1, so the General option is visible there. But when I'm selecting this option, I receive hits from collection_2 with category = General as well. I need only hits with category = General from collection_1 :melting_face: Please help
