I am trying to correct an error in a search input in Vue + Laravel project.
For some reason, when more than one word is used in the search input the product is not displayed, but the projects that feature the products are.
For example: I have 4 types of desks: Desk Green, Desk, Desk Tall and Desk Grey. If I search for "Desk" the products will all be displayed and the interior design projects in which these desks are featured are also displayed. If I search for "Desk Green" specifically, the function returns an empty array of products, however the interior design projects that feature "Desk Green" are shown normally, even though the same functions are being used.
I am using two main functions which I will paste below. One is inside the Vue component and it´s called as soon as the component is mounted. This function uses axios to post data to the other function, which is in the controller. It seems that I am not able to use var_dump() or dd() in the controller function and I don´t know why. I am a begginer trying to work in a rather complex project, so it is a little difficult for me.
This is the funcion inside the component:
search(){
let search = window.location.href.split('=');
this.searchValue = search[1].replace('%20', ' ');
search = search[1].replace('%20', '+').toLowerCase()
if(localStorage.getItem('userFormData')){
let form = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('userFormData'));
if(form.email){
this.emailClient = form.email;
}
}
axios.post('search', {search : search, emailClient : this.emailClient})
.then(response => {
console.log(JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(response.data.products)))
this.products = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(response.data.products))
this.projects = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(response.data.projects))
this.ebooks = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(response.data.ebooks))
this.countProducts = response.data.countProducts
this.countProjects = response.data.countProjects
this.countEbooks = response.data.countEbooks
}).catch(error => {
console.log(error)
})
}
This is the function in the controller:
public function searchFunction(Request $request)

$lang = App::getLocale();
$lang = new LangMiddleware;
$locale = $lang->getLocale();
$search = $request->search;

I would really appreciate any suggestions. Thank you in advance.
