Installation

Install Search with Composer.

composer require raxos/search

Requirements

• PHP 8.5 or newer.
• The ext-ctype extension.
• The ext-mbstring extension.

Raxos dependencies

Search builds on several other packages in the monorepo. Composer resolves these automatically, but it helps to know where the pieces come from:

• raxos/contract: the FilterInterface, PolicyInterface, StructuredFilterInterface and query node contracts.
• raxos/database: filters operate on a query interface, and every searchable class extends the ORM Model.
• raxos/error: every exception in Raxos\Search\Error extends the base exception class.
• raxos/datetime: date and datetime range parsing is built on the date primitives.
• raxos/foundation: shared utilities used across the package.
• raxos/reflection: the model attributes are read with the reflection helpers.

Configure a connection first

Search does not open its own database connection. Configure raxos/database with a connection before you register any model, otherwise a search cannot build or run its queries.
