Answer 1

You can filter your collection like this:

$collection = $collection->filter(function ($item) use ($attribute) {
            return strpos($item->name, $attribute) !== false;
        });

If you get an error saying Trying to get property 'name' of non-object , just change $item->name to $item['name'] .

Answer 2

Change to this

$collection = $collection->where($attribute,'LIKE',"%".$value."%"); // problem is here
