Hi, Suppose I have 2 different pages where I need InstantSearch for displaying some templates. At one page I need to display All Templates and at another only the Trendy ones so I want to apply filter_by: "categories.name:=[trending]" Is it possible to do so with one client?

const additionalSearchParameters = {
  query_by: "store_name",
  num_typos: 2, 
  typo_tokens_threshold: 1,
};

export const searchClient = typesenseAdapter({ config, additionalSearchParameters }).searchClient;

const typesenseAdapter = ({ config, additionalSearchParameters }) => {
  return new TypesenseInstantsearchAdapter({
    server: config,
    additionalSearchParameters,
  });
};

If I add filter_by: "categories.name:=[trending]" in additionalSearchParameters I will get trending no of templates at all places. Pls refer any doc I can use for this purpose. Thanks!
