Complex query in Laravel using Query Builder - php

Question

On my website I am trying to implement search functionality. When someone enters keyword I am supposed to find all posts and users that may match that keyword based on posts title or body, or based on users name, username or bio. However I am having trouble with executing this query.
public function search(Request $request) {
$keyword = $request->get('q');
$posts = Post::where('deleted', 0)
->where('title', 'like', '%'.$keyword.'%')
->orWhere('body', 'like', '%'.$keyword.'%')
->orderBy('title')
->get();
$users = User::where('name', 'like', '%'.$keyword.'%')
->where('active', 1)
->orWhere('username', 'like', '%'.$keyword.'%')
->orWhere('bio', 'like', '%'.$keyword.'%')
->orderBy('username')
->get();
return view('searchresults', compact('users', 'posts'));
}
The specific problem I am having is that after function search $posts variable contains posts which were deleted.
This is what I actually need:
select * from posts where deleted = 0 and (title like $keyword or body like $keyword)
I appreciate any help.
Thanks. :)

Answer 1

Use closure to group where() and orWhere() like this:
$posts = Post::where('deleted', 0)
->where(function($q) use($keyword) {
$q->where('title', 'like', '%' . $keyword . '%')
->orWhere('body', 'like', '%' . $keyword . '%');
})
->orderBy('title')
->get();

Answer 2

public function search(Request $request) {
$keyword = $request->get('q');
$posts = Post::whereNull('deleted')
->where('title', 'like', '%'.$keyword.'%')
->orWhere('body', 'like', '%'.$keyword.'%')
->orderBy('title')
->get();
$users = User::where(function($query) use($keyword){
$query->where('name', 'like', '%'.$keyword.'%');
$query->orWhere('username', 'like', '%'.$keyword.'%');
$query->orWhere('bio', 'like', '%'.$keyword.'%');
})
->where('active', 1)
->orderBy('username')
->get();
return view('searchresults', compact('users', 'posts'));
}
Hope it's help you!!
