Can Laravel Query get similar books by title?

we have a books table, and When I click on Harry Potter Part 1, it will show me the other parts below, such as Harry Potter Part 2 or Part 3, I try like query or group by

I tried these but to no result

 public function book(Request $request)
    {
        $book = books::find($request->id);
            return [
                'book' => $book,
                'more_books' => books::
                    ->whereNotIn('id', [$book->id])
                    ->where('title', 'like', '%' . $book->title. '%')
                    ->get()
            ];
    }

output :

{
    "book": {
        "id": 40,
        "price": 20,
        "title": "Harry Potter Part 1"
    },
    "more_books": []
}

     public function book(Request $request)
    {
        $book = books::find($request->id);
        $title = substr($book->title, 0, -3);

            return [
                'book' => $book,
                'more_books' => books::
                    ->whereNotIn('id', [$book->id])
                    ->where('title', 'like', '%' . $title. '%')
                    ->get()

    if this is mysql you would use the MATCH() function to return a relevance, and play around with the results you get from this (and add fullext index to the table). I think in laravel you’ll need to add a whereraw in the query builder. Look up the Match function. Other dbs will have the same or similar.
