When using getAlgoliaFacets and getAlgoliaResults with the same search client in different sources or plugins, Autocomplete batches all queries into a single network call to Algolia. If you’re using the same search client for different sources or plugins, make sure to use the same instance to leverage the internal cache and batching mechanism.

type: (response: { results: Array<SearchResponse<THit> | SearchForFacetValuesResponse>, hits: MaybeArray<Hit<THit>[]>, facetHits: MaybeArray<FacetHit[]> }) => MaybeArray<Hit<THit>[] | FacetHit[]>
The function to transform the Algolia response before passing it to the Autocomplete state. You have access to the full Algolia results, as well as the pre-computed hits and facet hits. This is useful to manipulate the hits, or store data from the results in the context. This is the default implementation:
