Eloquent query scope on relationship

I have two models called Page and User and I've set up the Eloquent relation as follows:

public function user() {
  return $this->belongsTo('User')
}

When I dd(Page::with('user')->get()) I get the right result. But now I want to have a search filter on this result.

I've used a scopeSearch but I'm not sure how to search on the resultset.

At the moment I have a scope like this:

public function scopeSearch($query, $search) {
  $query->where('username', 'LIKE', '%'.$search.'%')
     ->orWhere('name', 'LIKE', '%'.$search.'%')
}

So when I Page::with('user')->search('Test')->get() it is not working. The problem (probably) is that the username column is part of the User table and the name is part of the Page table.

How would I be able to use a scope or something familiar, to search on the resultset, without repeating it in most of the queries?

You need to create scopeSearch in User model and you should use it this way:

$posts = Page::with('user')->whereHas('user', function($q) use ($search)
{
    $q->search($search);

})->get();
