Search is essential for content-heavy applications.

  ## Make model searchable
  
  ```php
  use Laravel\Scout\Searchable;
  
  class Post extends Model {
    use Searchable;
  }
  ```
  
  ## Search query
  
  ```php
  $posts = Post::search('laravel')->get();
  ```
  
  ## Search flow
  
  ```mermaid
  flowchart LR
    A[Save Model] --> B[Scout]
    B --> C[Search Index]
    D[Search Query] --> C --> E[Results]
  ```
  
  Scout keeps search logic simple.
