SEAL integration into Laravel Scout

[alexander-schranz]

With SEAL we created abstraction around different Search Engines it currently supports a bunch of Search Engines: Elasticsearch, Opensearch, Meilisearch, Algolia, Loupe, RediSearch, Typesense, Solr. And has Integration into different PHP Frameworks (Laravel, Symfony, Spiral, Yii, Mezzio). It provides a very friendly way communicating with the Search Engines very similar to Meilisearch.

As my knowledge about Laravel Scout and how the Drivers work is nearly zero, I thought that maybe somebody with more knowledge want to create a Driver using SEAL. Friendly mentioning @driesvints maybe you have some ideas to achieve this.

Issue: PHP-CMSIG/search#148

@alexander-schranz Hi. We have a library (that uses Eloquent) that can be used also for Elasticsearch AUTO filtering and aggregating if the SQL plugin is installed on Elasticsearch. It JUST consumes the data from ES. It is not using Laravel's drivers and so on, but instead it uses guzzle to connect to ES.

Your package could help to create the index and also maybe ingest data into ES. We did it manually by fetching data directly from the database.
