Did you mean functionality with Laravel Scout
In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to create “Did you mean” functionality fast and easy. Data we’ll use will be a large city database consisting of more than 3 million cities. The idea is to show the correct city name in case your users misspell them. The list of cities comes from MaxMind, Inc and you can find the list here. To understand what we are building take a look at the demo page. Setting up Laravel isn’t covered, but you can find plenty of tutorials on how to do this. …
Adding search functionality to your project can sometimes be tiresome. It is often required to search against large text documents where the database LIKE operator simply isn’t enough. It cannot handle cases where you don’t write the exact search query. The query “%Laravel — The PHP Framework%” is not the same as “%The PHP Framework — Laravel%” and often you won’t get any results for such queries. It’s not even worth discussing how much MySQL LIKE operator performance sucks.
You might argue that databases like MySQL have full text search support and it shouldn’t be to hard to use it…
