href="#introduction">Introduction</a></h2> <p><a href="https://github.com/laravel/scout">Laravel Scout</a> provides a simple, driver based solution for adding full-text search to your <a href="/docs/11.x/eloquent">Eloquent models</a>. Using model observers, Scout will automatically keep your search indexes in sync with your Eloquent records.</p> <p>Currently, Scout ships with <a href="https://www.algolia.com/">Algolia</a>, <a href="https://www.meilisearch.com">Meilisearch</a>, <a href="https://typesense.org">Typesense</a>, and MySQL / PostgreSQL (<code>database</code>) drivers. In addition, Scout includes a "collection" driver that is designed for local development usage and does not require any external dependencies or third-party services. Furthermore, writing custom drivers is simple and you are free to extend Scout with your own search implementations.</p> <h2 id="installation"><a href="#installation">Installation</a></h2> <p>First, install Scout via the Composer package manager:</p> <div class="code-container"> <pre><code data-theme="olaolu-palenight" data-lang="shell" class='torchlight' style='background-color: #292D3E; --theme-selection-background: #7580B850;'><!-- Syntax highlighted by torchlight.dev --><div class='line'><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">composer </span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">require</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">laravel/scout</span></div></code></pre> </div> <p>After installing Scout, you should publish the Scout configuration file using the <code>vendor:publish</code> Artisan command. This command will publish the <code>scout.php</code> configuration file to your application's <code>config</code> directory:</p> <div class="code-container"> <pre><code data-theme="olaolu-palenight" data-lang="shell" class='torchlight' style='background-color: #292D3E; --theme-selection-background: #7580B850;'><!-- Syntax highlighted by torchlight.dev --><div class='line'><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">php </span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">artisan</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">vendor:publish</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #82AAFF;">--provider=</span><span style="color: #D9F5DD;">"</span><span style="color: #C3E88D;">Laravel\Scout\ScoutServiceProvider</span><span style="color: #D9F5DD;">"</span></div></code></pre> </div> <p>Finally, add the <code>Laravel\Scout\Searchable</code> trait to the model you would like to make searchable. This trait will register a model observer that will automatically keep the model in sync with your search driver:</p> <pre><code data-theme="olaolu-palenight" data-lang="php" class='torchlight' style='background-color: #292D3E; --theme-selection-background: #7580B850;'><!-- Syntax highlighted by torchlight.dev --><div class='line'><span style="color: #D3423E;"><?php</span></div><div class='line'> </div><div class='line'><span style="color: #C792EA;">namespace</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> App\Models;</span></div><div class='line'> </div><div class='line'><span style="color: #C792EA;">use</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\</span><span style="color: #FFCB8B;">Model</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">;</span></div><div class='line'><span style="color: #C792EA;">use</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> Laravel\Scout\</span><span style="color: #FFCB8B;">Searchable</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">;</span></div><div class='line'> </div><div class='line'><span style="color: #C792EA;">class</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #FFCB6B;">Post</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #C792EA;">extends</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #A9C77D;">Model</span></div><div class='line'><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">{</span></div><div class='line'><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #C792EA;">use</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #FFCB8B;">Searchable</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">;</span></div><div class='line'><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">}</span></div></code></pre> <h3 id="queueing"><a href="#queueing">Queueing</a></h3> <p>While not strictly required to use Scout, you should strongly consider configuring a <a href="/docs/11.x/queues">queue driver</a> before using the library. Running a queue worker will allow Scout to queue all operations that sync your model information to your search indexes, providing much better response times for your application's web interface.</p> <p>Once you have configured a queue driver, set the value of the <code>queue</code> option in your <code>config/scout.php</code> configuration file to <code>true</code>:</p> <pre><code data-theme="olaolu-palenight" data-lang="php" class='torchlight' style='background-color: #292D3E; --theme-selection-background: #7580B850;'><!-- Syntax highlighted by torchlight.dev --><div class='line'><span style="color: #D9F5DD;">'</span><span style="color: #C3E88D;">queue</span><span style="color: #D9F5DD;">'</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #89DDFF;">=></span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #82AAFF;">true</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">,</span></div></code></pre> <p>Even when the <code>queue</code> option is set to <code>false</code>, it's important to remember that some Scout drivers like Algolia and Meilisearch always index records asynchronously. Meaning, even though the index operation has completed within your Laravel application, the search engine itself may not reflect the new and updated records immediately.</p> <p>To specify the connection and queue that your Scout jobs utilize, you may define the <code>queue</code> configuration option as an array:</p> <pre><code data-theme="olaolu-palenight" data-lang="php" class='torchlight' style='background-color: #292D3E; --theme-selection-background: #7580B850;'><!-- Syntax highlighted by torchlight.dev --><div class='line'><span style="color: #D9F5DD;">'</span><span style="color: #C3E88D;">queue</span><span style="color: #D9F5DD;">'</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #89DDFF;">=></span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> [</span></div><div class='line'><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #D9F5DD;">'</span><span style="color: #C3E88D;">connection</span><span style="color: #D9F5DD;">'</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #89DDFF;">=></span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #D9F5DD;">'</span><span style="color: #C3E88D;">redis</span><span style="color: #D9F5DD;">'</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">,</span></div><div class='line'><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #D9F5DD;">'</span><span style="color: #C3E88D;">queue</span><span style="color: #D9F5DD;">'</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #89DDFF;">=></span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #D9F5DD;">'</span><span style="color: #C3E88D;">scout</span><span style="color: #D9F5DD;">'</span></div><div class='line'><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">],</span></div></code></pre> <p>Of course, if you customize the connection and queue that Scout jobs utilize, you should run a queue worker to process jobs on that connection and queue:</p> <pre><code data-theme="olaolu-palenight" data-lang="php" class='torchlight' style='background-color: #292D3E; --theme-selection-background: #7580B850;'><!-- Syntax highlighted by torchlight.dev --><div class='line'><span style="color: #82AAFF;">php</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #82AAFF;">artisan</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #82AAFF;">queue</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">:</span><span style="color: #82AAFF;">work</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #82AAFF;">redis</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #89DDFF;">--</span><span style="color: #82AAFF;">queue</span><span style="color: #C792EA;">=</span><span style="color: #82AAFF;">scout</span></div></code></pre> <h2 id="driver-prerequisites"><a href="#driver-prerequisites">Driver Prerequisites</a></h2> <h3 id="algolia"><a href="#algolia">Algolia</a></h3> <p>When using the Algolia driver, you should configure your Algolia <code>id</code> and <code>secret</code> credentials in your <code>config/scout.php</code> configuration file.
