How to update InstantSearch to the latest version in Magento 2?

To achieve this your developers will need to recompile the algolia bundle files which are included within the Magento plugin to use the latest version of InstantSearch. This can be done following the next steps:

• Clone the algoliasearch-extensions-bundle repository
• On the branch 'ISv4' open package.json
• Set InstantSearch to the latest version: instantsearch.js: ^4.x.x
• Set the algoliasearch-helper to the required version: "algoliasearch-helper": "^3.x.x"  
• Run npm run build to generate the new algolia bundle files
• In the directory vendor/algolia/algoliasearch-magento-2/view/frontend/web/internals replace the algoliaBundle.min.js and algoliaBundle.min.js.map files with the ones you generated
