⚠️ Deprecated: Laravel scout now supports database and collection drivers for testing purpose

Laravel Scout Database Driver

Why?

Of-course search engines like algolia are faster and more accurate.

But you can use database driver for these purposes.

You want to test your app in local environment without running a search engine on your local machine or use a online search engine service.
