Make Your Model Searchable [](#1-make-your-model-searchable) ``` use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; use PlusInfoLab\Search\Traits\Searchable; class Post extends Model { use Searchable; // Define searchable fields protected $searchable = ['title', 'content', 'tags']; // Optional: Define field weights for ranking protected $searchWeights = [ 'title' => 10, // Title matches score higher 'content' => 5, // Content matches score medium 'tags' => 3, // Tag matches score lower ]; } ``` ### 2. Search Your Models [](#2-search-your-models) ``` // Simple search using default algorithm (partial match) $posts = Post::search('laravel')->get(); // Search with specific algorithm $posts = Post::search('laravle', 'fuzzy')->get(); // Get search results with scores and metadata $results = Post::searchQuery('laravel framework'); foreach ($results as $result) { echo $result->getItem()->title; echo "Score: " . $result->getScore(); echo "Matched fields: " . implode(', ', $result->getMatchedFields()); } ``` πŸ“– Usage Examples ---------------- [](#-usage-examples) ### Using the Search Facade [](#using-the-search-facade) ``` use PlusInfoLab\Search\Facades\Search; // Create a search query $query = Search::query('laravel framework') ->in(['title', 'content']) ->weights(['title' => 10, 'content' => 5]) ->using('fuzzy') ->minScore(0.5) ->limit(10); // Execute search on Eloquent builder $results = Search::search($query->setBuilder(Post::query())); ``` ### Boolean Search [](#boolean-search) ``` // AND operator $posts = Post::search('laravel AND framework', 'boolean')->get(); // OR operator $posts = Post::search('laravel OR symfony', 'boolean')->get(); // NOT operator $posts = Post::search('framework NOT deprecated', 'boolean')->get(); // Complex queries with grouping $posts = Post::search('(laravel OR symfony) AND framework NOT old', 'boolean')->get(); // Exact phrases $posts = Post::search('"laravel framework" AND tutorial', 'boolean')->get(); ``` ### Fuzzy Search (Typo Tolerance) [](#fuzzy-search-typo-tolerance) ``` // Will match "Laravel", "Laravle", "Laravell", etc. $posts = Post::search('Laravle', 'fuzzy')->get(); // Configure threshold in config/search.php 'fuzzy' => [ 'threshold' => 2, // Maximum Levenshtein distance ], ``` ### Phonetic Search (Sounds-Like) [](#phonetic-search-sounds-like) ``` // Will match "Stephen", "Steven", "Stefan" $users = User::search('Stephen', 'phonetic')->get(); // Configure algorithm (soundex or metaphone) 'phonetic' => [ 'algorithm' => 'metaphone', // or 'soundex' ], ``` ### Prefix Search (Autocomplete) [](#prefix-search-autocomplete) ``` // Match titles starting with "lar" $posts = Post::search('lar', 'prefix')->get(); // Returns: "Laravel Tutorial", "Laravel Tips", etc. ``` ### With Highlighting [](#with-highlighting) ``` $results = Post::searchQuery('laravel framework'); foreach ($results as $result) { $highlights = $result->getHighlights(); // Highlights contain matched fragments with tags echo $highlights['title'][0]; // Output: "The Laravel Framework Guide" } ``` ### Search Suggestions [](#search-suggestions) ``` use PlusInfoLab\Search\Facades\Search; // Get autocomplete suggestions $suggestions = Search::suggest('larav', ['Laravel', 'JavaScript', 'Laravel Nova'], 5); // Returns: ['Laravel', 'Laravel Nova'] // "Did you mean" functionality $suggester = app(\PlusInfoLab\Search\Features\SearchSuggester::class); $suggestion = $suggester->didYouMean('laravle', ['Laravel', 'Symfony', 'CodeIgniter']); // Returns: 'Laravel' ``` ### Synonym Expansion [](#synonym-expansion) ``` // Configure synonyms in config/search.php 'synonyms' => [ 'enabled' => true, 'dictionary' => [ 'car' => ['automobile', 'vehicle'], 'phone' => ['mobile', 'smartphone', 'cellphone'], ], ], // Search for "car" will also search for "automobile" and "vehicle" $results = Product::searchQuery('car'); ``` ### Advanced Ranking [](#advanced-ranking) ``` // Configure ranking in config/search.php 'ranking' => [ 'enabled' => true, // Boost recent results 'recency_boost' => [ 'enabled' => true, 'field' => 'created_at', 'decay_days' => 30, 'boost_factor' => 1.5, ], // Boost popular results 'popularity_boost' => [ 'enabled' => true, 'field' => 'views_count', 'boost_factor' => 0.1, ], ], ``` ### SQLite FTS Integration [](#sqlite-fts-integration) ``` // Enable in config/search.php 'fts' => [ 'enabled' => true, 'version' => 'fts5', 'auto_sync' => true, // Automatically sync model changes ], // FTS tables are created automatically // Search uses FTS when available for better performance $posts = Post::search('laravel')->get(); ``` βš™οΈ Configuration ---------------- [](#️-configuration) The package is highly configurable.
