Advanced Laravel Search Functionality Using Scout

I have a Model named Profile in my project and i want to search user's full name through the records using Laravel Scout.

Search Function

public function SearchUser(Request $request)
{
    $searchProfileQuery = Profile::search($request->input('query'))->get();
    
    return view('users/search-result', compact('searchProfileQuery'));
}

Let's say there are 2 records :

• Ben Hubble
• Dean Russel

Current Condition :

• If i search using 'e' keyword, both records are shown
• If i search using 'dean' or 'Dean', only Dean Russel will be shown

QUESTION :

• How if i misspelled the keyword 'Dean' with 'Dena' but Dean Russel still shown?
• Or how if i make the keyword with excessive vowels like 'Been' but Ben Hubble still shown?

Thanks in advance.

If you use the database engine as laravel scout driver, the comparison is done by executing a SQL LIKE query against the desired fields as described here: https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/scout#database-engine

What you'd like to have is an additional feature that is not part of the database engine. If switching to another engine like algolia is possible, please have a look at the Algolia typo tolerance documentation: https://www.algolia.com/doc/api-reference/api-parameters/typoTolerance/
