  • Attach the Searchable trait to Eloquent models and customize toSearchableArray or searchableAs for indexable data.
  • Import, flush, and query indexes with filters, pagination, and soft deletes across engines.

Quick Start

Configure Scout in a Laravel project and make a model searchable using the guided setup.
