Laravel Scout: use more than one driver?

Using the config() helper. You can set the driver to MySQL in a controller action before doing anything. Then, in another controller you can use your default Scout driver.

Nice one. So I can create a method in my model class that overwrite Search like this:

static function mySqlSearch($string) {
        config(['scout.driver' => 'mysql']);
        return static::search($string);
    }

and in my controller, to prevent models to be indexed in Algolia, I can use the same trick:

public function store(Request $request)
    {
        config(['scout.driver' => 'mysql']);
        myModel::create($request->all());
}

It is not super clean, but it gets the job done :-)
