Full-text search in your Laravel app is easy, if it weren't for the small details

Algolia, ElasticSearch, Meilisearch or Typsense are so great engines. But how to use them in my own project. I mean the setup along the documentation is easy and the first results only some steps away.

But there is more.

In these product catalogs, where you don't just search for words in the individual table columns, but where you want to use more comfort, error-tolerant search results, recommendations, rankings and facets to bring your product range closer to the specialist customer. There the challenge starts and the documentation stops.

So let's dive into the possibilities we have with Laravel10 depending on the SDKs of the different Search Provider to get more off your catalog.
