On the SitePoint PHP blog they've posted a new tutorial showing you how to create a lyrics website with the combination of Laravel Scout and the Algolia data search service.

In this tutorial, we will create a minimal lyrics web site using Laravel Scout and Algolia. To do so, we need a CRUD app to work with our data, and a search interface to let users search through the content. However, instead of creating the full app from scratch, let’s just install the finished CRUD app that we’ve created for this tutorial.

Algolia is a hosted search engine API, providing us with all the tools and resources we’ll ever need to create products with awesome search capabilities.

The end result is a site with a simple search box that displays the matching album/songs for the search string provided. They start in on the code by bootstrapping the project and setting up the database (including loading it with the included SQL file). Next they install the Laravel Scout package and update the "Song" model to be searchable. The tutorial then walks you through the creation of a Algolia account, indexing the current data and importing it into Algolia. Finally it circles back around to the site and helps you create the pieces (controller/view/etc) to make the frontend search work with the Algolia API for searching the indexed data.
