 ========================================
 ### Database Searching Made Easy
 
-Searchy is an easy-to-use Laravel Optimized package that makes running user driven searches on data in your models simple and effective.
+Searchy is an; easy-to-use, light-weight, MySQL only, Laravel package that makes running user driven searches on data in your models simple and effective.
 It uses pseudo fuzzy searching and other weighted mechanics depending on the search driver that you have enabled.
 It requires no other software installed on your server (so can be a little slower than dedicated search programs) but can be set up and ready to go in minutes.
 
 Installation
 ----------------------------------------

+Add `"tom-lingham/searchy" : "2.0"` to your composer.json file under `require`:
 ```
 "require": {
 	"laravel/framework": "5.*",
-	"tom-lingham/searchy" : "dev-master"
+	"tom-lingham/searchy" : "2.0"
 }
 ```
 Run `composer update` in your terminal to pull down the package into your vendors folder.
 
 Add the service provider to the `providers` array in Laravel's app/config/app.php file:
 ```php
-'TomLingham\Searchy\SearchyServiceProvider'
+TomLingham\Searchy\SearchyServiceProvider::class
 ```
 
 Add the Alias to the `aliases` array in Laravel's app/config/app.php file if you want to have quick access to it in your application:
 ```php
-'Searchy' => 'TomLingham\Searchy\Facades\Searchy'
+'Searchy' => TomLingham\Searchy\Facades\Searchy::class
 ```

 If you are searching the name and email column/field of users in a `users` table you would, for example run:
 ```php
-$users = Searchy::users('name', 'email')->query('John Smith');
+$users = Searchy::users('name', 'email')->query('John Smith')->get();
 ```
 you can also write this as:
 
 ```php
-$users = Searchy::search('users')->fields('name', 'email')->query('John Smith');
+$users = Searchy::search('users')->fields('name', 'email')->query('John Smith')->get();
 ```
 In this case, pass the columns you want to search through to the `fields()` method.

+These examples both return an array of Objects containing your search results. You can use `getQuery()` instead of
+`get()` to return an instance of the Database Query Object in case you want to do further manipulation to the results:

+$users = Searchy::search('users')->fields('name', 'email')->query('John Smith')

 ```
 
 #### Searching multiple Columns
@@ -54,14 +56,24 @@ You can also add multiple arguments to the list of fields/columns to search by.
 
 For example, if you want to search the name, email address and username of a user, you might run:
 ```php
-$users = Searchy::users('name', 'email', 'username')->query('John Smith');
+$users = Searchy::users('name', 'email', 'username')->query('John Smith')->get();
 ```
 
 #### Searching Joined/Concatenated Columns
 Sometimes you may want to leverage searches on concatenated column. For example, on a `first_name` and `last_name` field but you only want to run the one query. To do this can separate columns with a double colon:
 ```php
-$users = Searchy::users('first_name::last_name')->query('John Smith');
+$users = Searchy::users('first_name::last_name')->query('John Smith')->get();
+```
+
+#### Return only specific columns
+You can specify which columns to return in your search:
+```php
+$users = Searchy::users('first_name::last_name')->query('John Smith')->select('first_name')->get();
+
+// Or you can swap those around...
+$users = Searchy::users('first_name::last_name')->select('first_name')->query('John Smith')->get();
 ```
+This will, however, also return the `relevance` aliased column regardless of what is entered here.

-Road Map
-----------------------------------------
-To the future! The intention is to (eventually):
-
-1. Remove Searchy's dependancy on Laravel
-2. Include more drivers for more advanced searching (Including file system searching, indexing and more)
-3. Implement an AJAX friendly interface for searching models and implementing auto-suggestion features on the front end
-4. Speed up search performance and improve result relevance
