Model Configuration

// app/Models/Matter/Matter.php
use Laravel\Scout\Searchable;

class Matter extends Model
{
    use Searchable;

    public function toSearchableArray(): array
    {
        return [
            'id'          => $this->id,
            'title'       => $this->title,
            'case_number' => $this->case_number,
            'description' => $this->description,
            'law_firm_id' => $this->law_firm_id,  // for tenant filtering
            'status'      => $this->status,
        ];
    }

    public function searchableAs(): string
    {
        return 'matters';
    }
}

Tenant-Scoped Search

Meilisearch filters are applied on every search query to enforce firm isolation:

Matter::search($query)
    ->where('law_firm_id', Filament::getTenant()->id)
    ->get();

Meilisearch Index Settings

// In a seeder or artisan command
MeiliSearch::index('matters')->updateFilterableAttributes(['law_firm_id', 'status']);
MeiliSearch::index('matters')->updateSortableAttributes(['created_at', 'title']);
