Expected or Desired Behavior

We have a use case where we would like to show one instance of the refiners webpart depending on mobile vs desktop views on a page. There may be other ways to do this and potentially maintaining state between more than one instance of a refinement set may be tricky but is this possible?

Observed Behavior

Add a second search refiners webpart, this webpart will display the existing search results webpart instance but the search results webpart itself only lists one instance of the refiners webpart(s) listing

Steps to Reproduce

Using a modern communications site in SP Online:
Add Modern Search: search results webpart to a page
Add Modern Search: refiners web part on a page
Connect the Search results web-part to the existing search refiners webpart
Add a second search refiners webpart, this webpart will display the existing search results webpart instance but the search results webpart itself only lists one instance of the refiners webpart(s) listing

Hi @ervingayle unfortunately this scenario isn't supported. You can't plug multiple refiners to a single search results. Why not adding a second search results WP with the same config and hide it the same way you do for the refiner in mobile view? Actually, how do you hide it, I'm curious ;)?
