Laravel Match Against
=====================

[](#laravel-match-against)

A simple macro for doing match against fulltext searches with the Eloquent ORM api, currently in beta.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- Laravel 5.x
- MySQL 3.3+

`composer require sciku1/laravel-match-against`

Laravel 5.5
-----------

[](#laravel-55)

You're done!

Laravel 5.x
-----------

[](#laravel-5x)

You must register the service provider in your `config/app.php`

```
'providers' => [
    ...
    Sciku1\LaravelMatchAgainst\Providers\MatchAgainstServiceProvider::class,
]

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To run match against queries, the field must have a fulltext index, currently there only way to do this is

```
DB::statement('ALTER TABLE `table_name` ADD FULLTEXT index_name(col1, col2)');

```

### Order

[](#order)

The default behaviour is to order. Example:

```
Model::match(['col1', 'col2'])->against('search terms')->get();

```

will generate

```
SELECT * FROM models ORDER BY (MATCH (col1) AGAINST ('search terms')) DESC, (MATCH (col2) AGAINST ('search terms')) DESC

```

### Where

[](#where)

To limit the results, you must use `whereAgainst()`

```
Model::match(['col1', 'col2'])->whereAgainst('search terms')->get();

```

will generate

```
SELECT * FROM models WHERE (MATCH (col1) AGAINST ('search terms')) > 0, (MATCH (col2) AGAINST ('search terms')) > 0

```
