When I load the hits widget for InstantSearch.js v4 it successfully loads all data.

However, I want to only load a specific query and it doesn’t change the data at all.

Any ideas?

const search = instantsearch({
    indexName: 'Products',
    searchClient: algoliasearch(
        'APPID',
        'SECRET'
    ),
	initialUiState: {
		Products: {
		  query: 'spoon',
		  page: 1,
		},
	},
});
search.addWidgets([
  instantsearch.widgets.hits({
    container: "#hits",
    templates: {
      empty: "No results.",
	  escapeHTML: false,
      item(hit){
	return `	  
	  <div class="hit">
	  
	  
	  
      <div class="hit-image">
        <img src="${hit.image}" />
      </div>
      <div class="hit-content">
        <div>
          <div class="hit-name">${hit.name}</div>
         
        </div>
        <div class="hit-price">$${hit.price}</div>
      </div>
    </div>
	`;
	}
     }
  })
})

Can you attach a code sandbox of what you are doing and what you have so we can better understand and see what is happening.
