To explain this question better I'll just give an example:
Let's say I have a world records database and wish to create an api for it. Let's say I want to add a search route that takes in GET or POST parameters (let's keep it simple and just say GET for now). Is it possible to write a search controller method which uses something like an array as a parameter to Eloquent's where method while also utilizing a like parameter (MySQL LIKE)?
I have the following which works but only for exact values:
public function search()
{
$params = Input::all();
return Records::where($params)->get();
}
