Multi-model Eloquent Search
This package is a fork of the wonderful Laravel Cross Eloquent Search package.
Consider sponsoring the original author of this package.
This Laravel package allows you to search through multiple Eloquent models. It supports sorting, pagination, scoped queries, eager load relationships, and searching through single or multiple columns.
Requirements
- PHP 8.0+
- MySQL 8.0 (all features)
- PostgreSQL 11+ (partial feature set)
- SQLite (partial feature set)
- Laravel 9.x, 10.x, 11.x

Features
- Search through one or more Eloquent models.
- Support for cross-model pagination.
- Search through single or multiple columns.
- Search through (nested) relationships.
- Support for Full-Text Search, even through relationships.
- Order by (cross-model) columns or by relevance.
- Use constraints and scoped queries.
- Eager load relationships for each model.
- In-database sorting of the combined result.
- Zero third-party dependencies
Installation
You can install the package via composer:
- If you want to use the
soundsLike()
similarity search with PostgreSQL, then you need to runCREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;
once on the given database to enable the Trigram Extension.
Usage
Start your search query by adding one or more models to search through. Call the add
method with the model's class name and the column you want to search through. Then call the search
method with the search term, and you'll get a \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection
instance with the results.
The results are sorted in ascending order by the updated column by default. In most cases, this column is updated_at
. If you've customized your model's UPDATED_AT
constant, or overwritten the getUpdatedAtColumn
method, this package will use the customized column. If you don't use timestamps at all, it will use the primary key by default. Of course, you can order by another column as well.
If you care about indentation, you can optionally use the new
method on the facade:
There's also an when
method to apply certain clauses based on another condition:
Wildcards
By default, we split up the search term, and each keyword will get a wildcard symbol to do partial matching. Practically this means the search term apple ios
will result in apple%
and ios%
. If you want a wildcard symbol to begin with as well, you can call the beginWithWildcard
method. This will result in %apple%
and %ios%
.
If you want to disable the behaviour where a wildcard is appended to the terms, you should call the endWithWildcard
method with false
:
Multi-word search
Multi-word search is supported out of the box. Simply wrap your phrase into double-quotes.
You can disable the parsing of the search term by calling the dontParseTerm
method, which gives you the same results as using double-quotes.
Sorting
If you want to sort the results by another column, you can pass that column to the add
method as a third parameter. Call the orderByDesc
method to sort the results in descending order.
You can call the orderByRelevance
method to sort the results by the number of occurrences of the search terms. Imagine these two sentences:
- Apple introduces iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini
- Apple unveils new iPad mini with breakthrough performance in stunning new design
If you search for Apple iPad, the second sentence will come up first, as there are more matches of the search terms.
Ordering by relevance is not supported if you're searching through (nested) relationships.
To sort the results by model type, you can use the orderByModel
method by giving it your preferred order of the models:
Pagination
We highly recommend paginating your results. Call the paginate
method before the search
method, and you'll get an instance of \Illuminate\Contracts\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator
as a result. The paginate
method takes three (optional) parameters to customize the paginator. These arguments are the same as Laravel's database paginator.
You may also use simple pagination. This will return an instance of \Illuminate\Contracts\Pagination\Paginator
, which is not length aware:
Constraints and scoped queries
Instead of the class name, you can also pass an instance of the Eloquent query builder to the add
method. This allows you to add constraints to each model.
Multiple columns per model
You can search through multiple columns by passing an array of columns as the second argument.
Search through (nested) relationships
You can search through (nested) relationships by using the dot notation:
Full-Text Search
You may use MySQL's Full-Text Search by using the addFullText
method. You can search through a single or multiple columns (using full text indexes), and you can specify a set of options, for example, to specify the mode. You can even mix regular and full-text searches in one query:
If you want to search through relationships, you need to pass in an array where the array key contains the relation, while the value is an array of columns:
Sounds like
MySQL has a soundex algorithm built-in so you can search for terms that sound almost the same. You can use this feature by calling the soundsLike
method:
Eager load relationships
Not much to explain here, but this is supported as well :)
Getting results without searching
You call the search
method without a term or with an empty term. In this case, you can discard the second argument of the add
method. With the orderBy
method, you can set the column to sort by (previously the third argument):
Counting records
You can count the number of results with the count
method:
Model Identifier
You can use the includeModelType
to add the model type to the search result.
By default, it uses the type
key, but you can customize this by passing the key to the method.
You can also customize the type
value by adding a public method searchType()
to your model to override the default class base name.
Standalone parser
You can use the parser with the parseTerms
method:
You can also pass in a callback as a second argument to loop through each term:
