Hi there,
This might be a noobish question, but is there anyway to make the Instantsearch.js fire when someone is actively writing in the search field, rather than on page load?
This is what I have in my algolia-search.js atm.
const search = instantsearch({
indexName: 'dev_Networks',
searchClient,
routing: true,
});
search.addWidgets([
instantsearch.widgets.configure({
hitsPerPage: 42,
})
]);
search.addWidgets([
instantsearch.widgets.searchBox({
container: '#search-box',
placeholder: 'Find a network..',
})
]);
/*
Stats widget => shows the number of Hits for users get a quick overview
*/
search.addWidgets([
instantsearch.widgets.refinementList ({
container: '#refinement-list',
attribute: 'categories',
})
]);
search.addWidgets([
instantsearch.widgets.currentRefinements({
container: '#current-refinements',
includedAttributes: ['categories'],
})
]);
search.addWidgets([
instantsearch.widgets.hits({
container: '#hits',
templates: {
item: `
<article>
<a href="{{linkUrl}}">
<div class="img-wrap">
<img src="{{imgUrl}}" >
</div>
<div class="inner-text">
<h3>{{#helpers.highlight}}{ "attribute": "title" }{{/helpers.highlight}}</h3>
<p>{{#helpers.highlight}}{ "attribute": "desc" }{{/helpers.highlight}}</p>
</div>
</a>
</article>
`,
empty: `We didn't find any results for the search <em>"{{query}}"</em>`,
},
})
]);
search.start();
Right now empty searches are a 97% of my total searches, and i’m pretty sure its using up my credits.
Again, I realize that this might seem a bit noobish, please bear with me 
Best,
