How to filter search results in laravel?

@deron 

In Laravel, you can filter search results by using the where method on your query builder in your controller. Here is an example of how you can filter search results based on a specific criteria:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

// Get the search query from the request
$searchQuery = $request->input('search');

// Perform a search and filter the results
$results = ModelName::where('column_name', 'LIKE', '%'.$searchQuery.'%')->get();

// Return the filtered results to the view
return view('search_results', compact('results'));

In the above example, ModelName is the name of the model you are querying, column_name is the name of the column in your database table that you want to search, and searchQuery is the value of the search query input provided by the user.

You can also chain multiple where clauses together to filter results based on multiple criteria. For example:

1
2
3

$results = ModelName::where('column1', 'LIKE', '%'.$searchQuery.'%')
                     ->where('column2', '=', 'value')
                     ->get();

This will filter the search results based on both column1 and column2 criteria.

Remember to always use the appropriate sanitization methods to prevent SQL injection attacks when filtering search results in Laravel.
