Laravel Global Search
=====================

[](#laravel-global-search)

A Laravel package for global search and Eloquent models and their relationships.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Search across multiple Eloquent models
- Supports searching related models
- Easy integration with Laravel projects
- Configurable model paths and exclusions

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require shankar/laravel-search
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Publish the config file (optional):

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Shankar\LaravelSearch\SearchServiceProvider"
```

This will create a `config/globalsearch.php` file where you can customize:

- `model_path`: Path to your models directory (default: `app/Models`)
- `model_namespace`: Namespace for your models (default: `App\Models\`)
- `all_model_search`: Whether to search all models in the directory
- `searchable_models`: Specific models to include (if not searching all)
- `exclude`: Models to exclude from search

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### 1. Add the `Searchable` Trait to Your Model

[](#1-add-the-searchable-trait-to-your-model)

```
use Shankar\LaravelSearch\Traits\Searchable;

class Post extends Model
{
    use Searchable;

    public $searchable = true;
    public $searchable_fields = ['title', 'content'];

    public function user()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
    }
}
```

### 2. Searching in Your Controller

[](#2-searching-in-your-controller)

You can perform a global search using the facade or the class directly:

```
use Shankar\LaravelSearch\Facades\GlobalSearch;

$results = GlobalSearch::search('search term');
```

Or, if you want to use the trait's local scope for a specific model:

```
$posts = Post::search('search term')->get();
```

### 3. Searching Related Models

[](#3-searching-related-models)

You can also search related models using the `searchRelations` scope:

```
$posts = Post::searchRelations([
    'user' => ['name', 'email'],
], 'search term')->get();
```
