laravel orderByRaw() on the query builder

Question

there is no way to make such a query(with the binding) using the Laravel query builder right now:

SELECT * FROM `posts` WHERE MATCH( `title`         


        

Answer 1

Using Eloquent you can do the following:

$match = "
    match (
        `title`,
        `description`
    ) against (
        ?
        IN BOOLEAN MODE
    )";

$against = 'bar';

$sql->whereRaw($match, array($against));
$sql->orderByRaw($match . " DESC", array($against));

The same would work with the Query Builder, but then you have to do a little rewriting.
