Laravel Spatie Searchable - laravel

Question

I am trying to implement spatie searchable in my project and it is working fine when I am doing plain searches. But if I try to do some filtering it is not working and I have no idea though. I have added my code below:
My controller:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Livewire\SuperAdmin;
use Livewire\Component;
use Spatie\Searchable\Search;
use App\Models\Category;
class SuperAdminSearch extends Component
{
public $query;
public $searchResults = [];
public $name = [];
public function updated($property) {
$this->name = $this->categoryName();
if($property == 'query') {
$searchterm = $this->query;
$this->searchResults = (new Search())
->registerModel(Category::class, 'name')
->perform($searchterm);
}
if(empty($this->query)) {
$this->searchResults = [];
}
}
public function render()
{
return view('livewire.super-admin.super-admin-search');
}
}
my model:
protected $fillable = ['name', 'category_type'];
public function getSearchResult(): SearchResult
{
$url = route('super_admin_category_details', $this->id);
return new SearchResult(
$this,
$this->name,
$url
);
}
Now what I want to do is I want to display all the category names where category_type will be ADVERTISEMENT. that's all. But I stuck for this last few days.
Thank you

You have to use SearchAspect. This way you can also search for exact matches and even filter your query like you would using the query builder.
$searchResults = (new Search())
->registerModel(Category::class, function (ModelSearchAspect $modelSearchAspect) {
$modelSearchAspect
->addSearchableAttribute('category_name')
->where('category_type', 'your_category_type_id');
})->perform($searchterm);
