QUESTION: Is it possible to use the InstantSearch refinementlist with Jekyll #115

If so how is the best way to implement this? I have the standard search and results, but id like to be able to filter this via check boxes.

Yep, it would be definitely possible.

What would you like to filter on? By default all records have a collection, categories and tags field setup when applicable. Values for those fields are directly extracted from Jekyll collections/categories/tags. You can use those fields in the InstantSearch widget configuration to add some checkbox filtering.

If you'd like to filter on other custom properties, you might need to update the settings option to pass your own attributesForFaceting.

Thanks for the reply @pixelastic I managed to get this sorted after some tinkering and I am just blown away by the speed of it. I really did just geek over a search function! 👍
