@ranjeet.tiwari It would be neat to have a better way to support this, but I'd recommend trying something like the following. Keep in mind that this is just pseudo-code to illustrate the concept I have in mind:

```auto
state = {
  engine: 'engine1'
}

const connector = new AppSearchAPIConnector({
  searchKey: "",
  engineName: this.state.engineName,
  hostIdentifier: ""
});

return <SearchProvider
  config={{
    apiConnector: connector
  }}
>
  <div>
    <SearchBox />
    <Tab1 id="tab1" onClick={() => setState({ engine: 'engine1' })}/>
    <Tab2 id="tab1" onClick={() => setState({ engine: 'engine2' })}/>
  </div>
</SearchProvider>

```
