I have the same error. What do you change in minify JS?

[PromInc]

@denis-g good question.

Change this:

this.nodes[0].nodeValue&&(this.nodes[0].nodeValue="")

To this:

this.nodes && this.nodes.length > 0 && this.nodes[0].nodeValue&&(this.nodes[0].nodeValue="")

(it's on line 2 🤣)

@PromInc Thank you for your contribution - and your patience as we try to catch up on things!

The InstantSearch libs are actually managed separately from our Magento extension.

However, this issue should be fixed already in version 3.16.0 of this extension on 13ed96d.

This fix is also being backported for 3.15.2.

If you still are having issues with these JavaScript libraries, please feel free to share further details in the aforementioned repo or open a ticket with support.
