React-Instant Search makes it easy to design the perfect search experience using pre-packaged search components or creating your own!

We have used shop page example to integrate instant search. There is a lot of other pre-made demo examples on the official doc. In Embryo-ReactJS you can see the demo on this url http://embryo-react.theironnetwork.org/shop.

Step 6: Now open the API keys tab from the left menu and copy the Search-Only API Key , now open the src->constants->AppConfig.js file from the template and paste the credentials in the apiKey, indexName with the index you have created & appId with the app name you have given to your app in step 5.

/**
