Searchbox v/s ReactiveSearch

We recommend using React Searchbox over DataSearch or CategorySearch components of ReactiveSearch when you only need to integrate a searchbox UI component into your app. If you are planning to use other UI filters or result components, it is ideal to use the ReactiveSearch library instead of this standalone component.
