## What it is
A Laravel PHP package that lets you search across multiple Eloquent models in a single database query. It supports cross-model pagination, sorting, full-text search, relationship searching, and works with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.

## Use cases
- search across multiple laravel models in one query
- paginate combined search results from posts and videos
- add full-text search to eloquent models without scout or algolia
- search through model relationships and nested columns
- sort cross-model search results by relevance or column
- filter search with query scopes and constraints

## When to choose
- you have a Laravel app with multiple Eloquent models to search simultaneously
- you want in-database search without external services like Algolia or Meilisearch
- you need cross-model pagination and sorting of combined results
- you want zero third-party dependencies and simple setup

## When to avoid
- you need a dedicated search engine with typo tolerance, faceting, or fuzzy matching at scale
- your project is not built on Laravel or Eloquent
- you need to index non-database sources like files or external APIs
