+Search Text Fields
+------------------
+
+You can perform a text search by using the :manual:`$text
+</reference/operator/query/text>` operator followed
+by the ``$search`` field in your query filter that you pass to the
+``where()`` method. The ``$text`` operator performs a text search on the
+text-indexed fields. The ``$search`` field specifies the text to search for.
+
+A text search retrieves documents that contain a **term** or a **phrase** in the
+text-indexed fields. A term is a sequence of characters that excludes
+whitespace characters. A phrase is a sequence of terms with any number
+of whitespace characters.
+
+.. note::
+
+   Before you can perform a text search, you must create a :manual:`text
+   index </core/indexes/index-types/index-text/>` on
+   the text-valued field. To learn more about creating
+   indexes, see the :ref:`laravel-eloquent-indexes` section of the
+   Schema Builder guide.
+
+After building your query with the ``where()`` method, chain the ``get()``
+method to retrieve the query results.
+
+This example calls the ``where()`` method on the ``Movie`` Eloquent model to
+retrieve documents in which the ``plot`` field contains the phrase
+``"love story"``:

+      :tabid: query-syntax
+
+      Use the following syntax to specify the query:
+
+      .. literalinclude:: /includes/fundamentals/read-operations/ReadOperationsTest.php
+         :language: php
+         :dedent:
+         :start-after: start-text
+         :end-before: end-text
+
+   .. tab:: Controller Method
+      :tabid: controller
+
+      To see the query results in the ``browse_movies`` view, edit the ``show()`` function
+      in the ``MovieController.php`` file to resemble the following code:
+
+      .. io-code-block::
+         :copyable: true
+
+         .. input::
+            :language: php

+.. note::
+
+   To specify a phrase as the text search criteria, you must include it
+   with escaped quotes in the query filter.
+
+A text search assigns a numerical text score to indicate how closely
+each result matches the string in your query filter. You can sort the
+results by relevance by using the ``orderBy()`` method to sort on the
+``textScore`` metadata:
+
+.. literalinclude:: /includes/fundamentals/read-operations/ReadOperationsTest.php
+   :language: php
+   :dedent:
+   :start-after: start-text-relevance
+   :end-before: end-text-relevance
