instantsearch.js without Algolia possible?

See original GitHub issue

A bit of an odd question I realize, but I’m wondering if it might be possible to leverage instantsearch without making a call to Algolia. (perhaps by using options.createAlgoliaClient)

My use-case is an app with an existing/configurable api, but where syncing to Algolia isn’t an option. However, it seems something like this might be useful for mocking responses for tests, or even offline searches.

Before I dig in and try I just wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone knows if it is even possible, or if there is any example of something similar.
