ElasticquentTrait.php has breaking change: The old data can NOT be searched until the indices be rebuilt.

Can someone post an example of using this model. If you have to map multiple types of search results into models.

Kind regards,

Just in case if you have to provide APIs such as "search anything" or "I don't know anything but the keyword"

@garveen Thank you for your reply.

Yes this is what I want. There are multiple types i.e books, author and users, etc. Its kind of global search.

Currently, I am using ElasticquentClientTrait directly to get the search results. But I want the results to be transformed into respective Eloquent models or some how I can parse the results into Transformers I have written using this library http://fractal.thephpleague.com/transformers/. For API consistency.

This is my current code

`
$client = $this->getElasticSearchClient();
$params = [
'index' => 'default',
];

$params['body']['from'] = ($page - 1)*$paginate;
$params['body']['size'] = $paginate;
$params['body']['query']['match'] = [
'_all' => $request->get('query')
];

$searchResults = $client->search($params); // this is manually being Transformed.
`

[garveen]

In this case, my code will be:

class Search extends \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model
{
  use \Elasticquent\ElasticquentTrait;
}

$results = Search::searchByQuery([...]);
// $results contains instances, and they are have been transformed.
foreach($results as $result) {
 //...
}

@garveen thank you man... I will give it go and let you know how it goes.

@garveen I have found the limitation of the above approach is that Search::searchByQuery looks for type searches. Well it has to search across other types i.e. books, author and users. Is their solution for types as well.

@jgardezi Oh it should be complexSearch... All methods with getBasicEsParams will not work with multi types.
