Search in Laravel Datatables - laravel

Question

In my datatables, the search function works only on the name column. The name column ist different that the others. It means, the name column gives the value of the database back, while the others gives a value back with the function add column
In the column array there are the following values:
´´´
protected function getColumns()
{
return [
'status',
'name' => [
'title' => 'Name',
'orderable' => true,
'searchable' => true
],
'location' => [
'title' => 'Standort',
],
'department' => [
'title' => 'Abteilung',
'orderable' => true,
'searchable' => true
],
'division' => [
'title' => 'Bereich',
'orderable' => true,
'searchable' => true
],
'leader' => [
'title' => 'Verantwortlicher',
'orderable' => true,
'searchable' => true
],
'start_date' => [
'title' => 'Startdatum',
'searchable'=> true,
],
'end_date' => [
'title' => 'Enddatum',
'searchable'=> true
]
];
}
```
Why it doesn't search on all columns? What i have to do?

Answer 1

Try to search by using this code.
return Datatables::of($tasks)
->filter(function ($query) use ($request) {
$title = $request->title;
if (isset($title) && !empty($title)) {
$query->where('title', 'like', '%'.$title.'%');
}
})->make(true);
OR
return Datatables::of($tasks)
->filterColumn('title', function($query, $value) {
$query->whereRaw("title like ?", ["%{$value}%"]);
})->make(true);
