Soft-delete with orWhere doesn't return results

[rms2219]

The following query yields many results:

$query = '%'.Input::get('q').'%';
return Contract::where('contractNumber', 'like', $query)->get();

But this query returns ZERO results...if anything, shouldn't it only return more results?

$query = '%'.Input::get('q').'%';
return Contract::where('contractNumber', 'like', $query)->orWhere('customerId', 'like', $query)->get();

"Contract" has $softDelete = 'true', and as soon as I turned that off, my orWhere clauses worked again

The soft delete functionality was not overwritten by this library, I don't really know what could be causing this issue.

OK I can look into the issue further on the Laravel issue tracker.

Did you solve the problem?

[rms2219]

I did not...I just closed it so that it wasn't in your issue tracker any more since you said the functionality wasn't overwritten by this library.
