Feature: What is your use case for such a feature?

Our users often want to select several refinements after searching the refinement list.

Example:

1. User searches the Customer refinement list for wal
2. Refinement list shows:
   a. Walmart A
   b. Walmart B
   c. Wally World
3. User wants to select both Walmart A and Walmart B. User clicks checkbox next to Walmart A.
4. Refinement list resets with only Walmart A selected and search query cleared.
5. User repeats steps 1-3 in order to select Walmart B

The current, unconfigurable behavior of selecting an item from the refinement list resets the search query and re-renders the list, leaving the user no choice but to search and select multiple times.

What is your proposed API entry? The new option to add? What is the behavior?

A new prop for RefinementList resetOnSelection (default: true) could control the behavior post-selection but I'm open to whatever prop name you think is best.

<RefinementList 
  attribute="customer_name" 
  resetOnSelection=false
  searchable 
  />
