# Laravel Searchable

This package makes it easy to get structured search from a variety of sources. Here's an example where we search through some models. We already did some small preparation on the models themselves.

```php
$searchResults = (new Search())
->registerModel(User::class, 'name')
->registerModel(BlogPost::class, 'title')
->search('john');
```

The search will be performed case insensitive. `$searchResults` now contains all `User` models that contain `john` in the `name` attribute and `BlogPost`s that contain 'john' in the `title` attribute.

In your view you can now loop over the search results:

```blade

Search

There are {{ $searchResults->count() }} results.

@foreach($searchResults->groupByType() as $type => $modelSearchResults)

{{ $type }}



@foreach($modelSearchResults as $searchResult)

@endforeach
@endforeach
```

In this example we used models, but you can easily add a search aspect for an external API, list of files or an array of values.

## Support us

[](https://spatie.be/github-ad-click/laravel-searchable)

We invest a lot of resources into creating [best in class open source packages](https://spatie.be/open-source). You can support us by [buying one of our paid products](https://spatie.be/open-source/support-us).

We highly appreciate you sending us a postcard from your hometown, mentioning which of our package(s) you are using. You'll find our address on [our contact page](https://spatie.be/about-us). We publish all received postcards on [our virtual postcard wall](https://spatie.be/open-source/postcards).

## Installation

You can install the package via composer:

```bash
composer require spatie/laravel-searchable
```

## Usage

### Preparing your models

In order to search through models you'll have to let them implement the `Searchable` interface.

```php
namespace Spatie\Searchable;

interface Searchable
{
public function getSearchResult(): SearchResult;
}
```

You'll only need to add a `getSearchResult` method to each searchable model that must return an instance of `SearchResult`. Here's how it could look like for a blog post model.

```php
use Spatie\Searchable\Searchable;
use Spatie\Searchable\SearchResult;

class BlogPost extends Model implements Searchable
{
public function getSearchResult(): SearchResult
{
$url = route('blogPost.show', $this->slug);

return new \Spatie\Searchable\SearchResult(
$this,
$this->title,
$url
);
}
}
```

### Searching models

With the models prepared you can search them like this:

```php
$searchResults = (new Search())
->registerModel(User::class, 'name')
->search('john');
```

The search will be performed case insensitive. `$searchResults` now contains all `User` models that contain `john` in the `name` attribute.

You can also pass multiple attributes to search through:

```php
// use multiple model attributes

$searchResults = (new Search())
->registerModel(User::class, 'first_name', 'last_name')
->search('john');

// or use an array of model attributes

$searchResults = (new Search())
->registerModel(User::class, ['first_name', 'last_name'])
->search('john');
```

To get fine grained control you can also use a callable. This way you can also search for exact matches, apply scopes, eager load relationships, or even filter your query like you would using the query builder.

```php
$search = (new Search())
->registerModel(User::class, function(ModelSearchAspect $modelSearchAspect) {
$modelSearchAspect
->addSearchableAttribute('name') // return results for partial matches on usernames
->addExactSearchableAttribute('email') // only return results that exactly match the e-mail address
->active()
->has('posts')
->with('roles');
});
```

### Creating custom search aspects

You are not limited to only registering basic models as search aspects. You can easily create your own, custom search aspects by extending the `SearchAspect` class.

Consider the following custom search aspect to search an external API:

```php
class OrderSearchAspect extends SearchAspect
{
public function getResults(string $term): Collection
{
return OrderApi::searchOrders($term);
}
}
```

This is how you can use it:

```php
$searchResults = (new Search())
->registerAspect(OrderSearchAspect::class)
->search('john');
```

### Limiting aspect results

It is possible to limit the amount of results returned by each aspect by calling `limitAspectResults` prior to performing the search.

```php
$searchResults = (new Search())
->registerAspect(BlogPostAspect::class)
->limitAspectResults(50)
->search('How To');
```

### Rendering search results

Here's an example on rendering search results:

```blade

Search

There are {{ $searchResults->count() }} results.

@foreach($searchResults->groupByType() as $type => $modelSearchResults)

{{ $type }}



@foreach($modelSearchResults as $searchResult)

@endforeach
@endforeach
```

You can customize the `$type` by adding a public property `$searchableType` on your model or custom search aspect

```php
class BlogPost extends Model implements Searchable
{
public $searchableType = 'custom named aspect';
}
```

### Testing

```bash
composer test
```
