 You will need to run `php artisan vendor:publish` to publish the config file to your instalation,
 Once run, you can find it in `config/eloquenet_search.php`.
 This config file is used to controll which models are used to search/return entities of.
 
+### Additional Feature:
+
+Implement the method 'isSearchable' in your models for the searcher to determine if it is allowed to search/return that model.
+``` php
+public function isSearchable(){
+	// Do your checks to determine if the model may be searched by the user
+	return true;
+}
+```
+This feature lets you restrict user searches to only the models they are allowed to see.
