Doesn’t search soft deletes

[RicLeP]

When using withTrashed it still only finds non-soft deleted items

where users.deleted_at is null

I've ran into this issue today. What worked for me was to call withTrashed before the search.

It was:

public function index() {
    // ...
    $users = User::search($query)->withTrashed()->paginate();
   // ...
}

Fixed by changing to:

public function index() {
    // ...
    $users = User::withTrashed()->search($query)->paginate();
   // ...
}
