Laravel Elastic Search

As suggested by many friends on laracasts, im using laravel scout with elasticsearch. I know there is another option algolia, but i prefer to use elasticsearch.

I have followed this tutorial

And have elasticsearch running on localhost:9200 and installed elasticsearch driver and configured index as scout and host as localhost:9200

When i run php artisan scout:import “App\Models\Press” it said 1 records added as i have only record in my model

I have the following code in my Controller

public function press (Request $request)
    {
     if($request->has('search')){
        $articles =  Press::search($request->input('search'))->get();
      } else {
        $articles = [];
      }
      return view('pages.press.index', compact('articles'));
    }

and view

<form id="elasticScout" action="/press" method="get">
     <div class="mysearchbar">
         <input name="search" placeholder="Search...">
     </div>
   </form>

    @forelse ($articles as $article)
      <div class="col-md-4">
        <div class="box border">
          <div class="box-header">
            <a href=""><img src="" class="img-fluid" alt=""></a>
          </div>
          <div class="box-body">
            <a href=""><h6 class="h-2x"></h6></a>
             on <a href="" class="text-primary"></a>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    @empty
      Please enter your search
    @endforelse

Search works fine. But im confused if this search is from elastic search or normal query. I do not find any difference.

How can i check if the search is from elasticsearch?
