use laravel scout without algolia

Check this out: https://github.com/teamtnt/tntsearch and https://github.com/teamtnt/laravel-scout-tntsearch-driver

There are several Elasticsearch drivers too, but I don't think they are terribly mature yet...

thanks guys, solved

Awesome! Thanks, I too had a similar problem and this helped.

May I ask, how you @slayder or @sincere0412 solved the issue to use scout without an external provider?

Would be awesome :-).

@addorange Scout is intended to accept drivers. Apart from Agolia, there is TNT Search (https://github.com/teamtnt/laravel-scout-tntsearch-driver). There is even a MySql driver available at https://github.com/YABhq/laravel-scout-mysql-driver.

In summary, Scout needs a driver and will not work without one.

The Scout service provider, calls an "EngineManager" class (see https://github.com/laravel/scout/blob/3.0/src/EngineManager.php), which determines what driver to use. In particular see https://github.com/laravel/scout/blob/3.0/src/EngineManager.php#L53-L60 which fetches the driver from your scout config file.
