Usage

Elastic Scout Driver Plus comes with a new trait QueryDsl, which you need to add in your model to activate advanced search functionality:

class Book extends Model
{
    use Searchable;
    use QueryDsl;
}

This trait adds a bunch of factory methods in your model: boolSearch(), matchSearch(), rawSearch(), etc. Each method creates a search request builder for specific query type. For example, if you want to make a match query use matchSearch() method:

$searchResult = Book::matchSearch()
    ->field('title')
    ->query('My book')
    ->fuzziness('AUTO')
    ->size(10)
    ->execute();

Choose factory method depending on the query type you wish to perform:

• bool
• exists
• fuzzy
• ids
• match all
• match none
• match phrase prefix
• match phrase
• match
• multi-match
• nested
• prefix
• range
• regexp
• term
• terms
• wildcard

If there is no method for the query type you need, you can use rawSearch():

$searchResult = Book::rawSearch()
    ->query(['match' => ['title' => 'The Book']])
    ->execute();

It is important to know, that all search request builders share the same generic methods, which provide such basic functionality as sorting, highlighting, etc. Check the full list of available generic methods and the usage examples here.
