## What it is
React InstantSearch is an open-source library by Algolia for building fast, filterable search interfaces in React and React Native apps. It provides prebuilt widgets, Hooks for custom rendering, server-side rendering, and routing support, and now lives in the algolia/instantsearch.js monorepo.

## Use cases
- add instant search to a react app
- build a filterable product search ui
- search box with refinement facets in react
- react native search interface
- server-side rendered search page in react
- custom search results rendering with hooks
- autocomplete and pagination for algolia search

## When to choose
- you use Algolia as your search backend and React or React Native on the frontend
- you want prebuilt search widgets plus hooks-level customization
- you need SSR and routing for search pages

## When to avoid
- you don't use Algolia as your search provider
- you need a backend-agnostic search UI library
- you're not using React
