You have two problems. Thats two questions.

Basically you have to work at it and not just come here expecting people to write code for you.

If you want to count access, how do you think it could be done? Maybe when you load the post, you increment a count and then save it?

For counting views of posts, you could use Redis. This is one simple example.

// show post method
public function show(Post $post)
{
    Redis::incr('post:' . $post->id . ':count');

    return view('posts.index', compact('post'));
}

Read more here about Redis with Laravel https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/redis

For advanced search, there are tons of information about searching and filtering in Laravel.
