Can I define an extra searchable column without creating a column in the table?

So I want a column to be searchable but I defined the column in the description method.

TextColumn::make('book.name')
  ->label('Book')
  ->lineClamp(2)
  ->description(fn (BookBorrow $record) => str('`' . $record->book->isbn . '`')->inlineMarkdown()->toHtmlString())
  ->searchable()
  ->sortable()

TextColumn::make('book.name')
  ->label('Book')
  ->lineClamp(2)
  ->description(fn (BookBorrow $record) => str('`' . $record->book->isbn . '`')->inlineMarkdown()->toHtmlString())
  ->searchable()
  ->sortable()

How to make the value isbn also searchable?

Solution:

You can set array param in searchable like : ```php TextColumn::make('book.name') ->label('Book') //......

You can set array param in searchable like :

TextColumn::make('book.name')
  ->label('Book')
  //...
  ->searchable(['name', 'isbn'])
  ->sortable()

TextColumn::make('book.name')
  ->label('Book')
  //...
  ->searchable(['name', 'isbn'])
  ->sortable()
