Hi, the configure widget does not apply search parameters to the UI. If you want to have a refined UI, you need to additionally set initialUiState in instantsearch(), like this:

const search = instantsearch({
  // ...
  initialUiState: {
    instant_search: {
      menu: {
        brand: 'Apple'
      }
    }
  }
});
