Yii2: Use one field to search for multiple columns

I have a table called calls and I need a single search input, to search in two columns, contact_number and contact_name. How do I do this on Yii2?

_search.php 

$form->field($model, 'searchstring')->textInput(['placeholder' => 'Search']);

common\models\CallsSearch.php

[['searchstring'], 'safe']

(..)

$query->orFilterWhere(['like', 'searchstring', $this->contact_name])
   ->orFilterWhere(['like', 'searchstring', $this->contact_number]);

controllers\CallsController.php

public function actionIndex()
{
    $searchModel = new CallsSearch();
    $dataProvider = $searchModel->search(Yii::$app->request->queryParams);
    return $this->render('index', [
            'searchModel' => $searchModel,
            'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
        ]);
}

Well you are trying to use the search_string input to filter 2 fields contact_name or contact_number but you are not using it to compare with the fields, you are specifying the custom model attribute as table_column, which is wrong, you should change the search model code to the following 

 $query->andFilterWhere ( [ 'OR' ,
            [ 'like' , 'contact_name' , $this->search_string ],
            [ 'like' , 'contact_number' , $this->search_string ],
        ] );

Hope it helps.
