How about putting a note at the beginning to say that if the data is in MongoDB, it's possible to create a search index without using scout with a link to the search indexes.
Scout from MongoDB to MongoDB is only useful if you want to denormalize additional data (such as adding data from a relationship to the main document).

For this part I would not mention other search engines. It's more: create MongoDB Atlas Indexes from any model (SQL or MongoDB).

I can update this list item; can you clarify how one would use Laravel MongoDB to work with SQL models? Is this possible, or is that a general statement about Laravel as a framework in general?

| You can use Laravel Scout only when you connect to MongoDB Atlas | ||
| clusters. This feature is not available for self-managed or | ||
| serverless deployments. |

Search indexes are available using atlas local, or the the mongodb/mongodb-atlas-local docker image (link). I use this docker image for testing.

based on the language used on the website, Self-managed refers to Enterprise and Advanced and community edition MongoDB. So, I can adjust the first sentence to say deployments instead of clusters.
