app/Http/Controllers/SearchController.php

```
<?php  namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request;use App\Models\User;  class SearchController extends Controller{    /**     * Display a listing of the resource.     *     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response     */    public function index()    {        return view('searchDemo');    }        /**     * Show the form for creating a new resource.     *     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response     */    public function autocomplete(Request $request)    {        $data = User::select("name as value", "id")                    ->where('name', 'LIKE', '%'. $request->get('search').

These| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!|*/  Route::controller(SearchController::class)->group(function(){    Route::get('demo-search', 'index');    Route::get('autocomplete', 'autocomplete')->name('autocomplete');});
```
