## Notes

Laravel Scout is a PHP package that adds full-text search to the Eloquent models of a Laravel application. It is installed with Composer and documented on the [Laravel documentation site](https://laravel.com/docs/scout) alongside the framework.

Scout ships with a database engine that searches the application's own tables on MySQL or PostgreSQL, so no separate search service is needed to start. The docs also describe engines for third-party search services, including Algolia, Meilisearch, Typesense and Turbopuffer, plus a collection engine for prototypes and tests.
