Search in an Index
class BookController extends Controller
{
public function search()

// Or if you want to get the result from meilisearch:
Book::search('harry pottre')->raw();
}
}

{
// Delete one document
Book::find($id)->delete();
// Delete several documents
Book::destroy([1, 42]);

Book::query()->delete();
}
}
or you can use the artisan command to delete all documents from an index:
php artisan scout:flush "App\Book"
