Laravel join with LIKE CONCAT - php

Question

Laravel 5.1.11
I have a simple search in my shop:
public function search($request $request)
{
return Catalog::where('title', 'like', '%'.$request->searchQuery.'%')
->orderBy('id', 'desc')
->paginate(50);
}
This is worked!
But people are looking for goods so: Pump BOSCH. And search result is null.
Because I changed my select:
public function search($request $request)
{
$searchQ = preg_split('/\s+/', $request->searchQuery, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
return Catalog::where(function ($q) use ($searchQ) {
foreach ($searchQ as $value) {
$q->orWhere('title', 'like', "%{$value}%");
}
})
->orderBy('id', 'desc')
->paginate(50);
}
And this is worked), and show all Pumps!
But i want show only one Pump bosch.
My DB table manufactories:
| id | title |
| :--: | :----- |
| 1 | AlKO |
| 2 | BOSCH |
AND catalogs, where m_id is id from table manufactory:
| id | m_id | title | url |
| :--: | :---: | :---- | :--------- |
| 1 | 1 | pump | pump-alko |
| 2 | 2 | pump | pump-bosch |
How do I change the MySQL search query (adding LEFT JOIN and CONCAT) to find Pump bosch?
To make it look like this: CONCAT('catalogs.title', ' ', 'manufactories.title') LIKE '%'.$request->searchQuery.'%'

Answer 1

You can do simply like this,
$data = DB::table('manufactories')
->join('catalogs','manufactories.id','=','catalogs.m_id')
->select('manufactories.title','catalogs.title')
->where(DB::raw('CONCAT(manufactories.title," ",catalogs.title)'), 'like',"%{$value}%")
->get();
I hope it helps,

You can use the Query Builder to do joins e.g.
DB::table('catalogs')
->select('catalogs.*')
->join('manufactories', 'catalogs.m_id', '=', 'manufactories.id', 'left')
->where(function($q) use ($searchQ) {
foreach ($searchQ as $value) {
$q->orWhere('manufactories.title', 'like', "%{$value}%");
$q->orWhere('catalogs.title', 'like', "%{$value}%");
}
})
->get();
