The use of like operator is in the search form. When we search for a keyword, a post, a product or an object and we do not know its exact name, then what we do is we type a keyword in it and whatever is found with that word is brought inside the database and displayed. This is called like operator.
function chat_user_search(Request $req){
$data = DB::table('users')->where('name', 'like', '%'.$req->search.'%')->get();
foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
}
I have created a Laravel function above and explained the like operator. You can create a search bar using this function and connect it to this function through the backend. Now it depends on you whether you use this like function through ajax or without ajax.
