How to: get index from collection using $media model instance

[BinaryKitten]

Hi,

We're trying to get the index of a particular item in a collection.
We've got the media collection and then filtered that to create a new collection instance and want to get the index of the item from the base collection.
Unfortunately, since Spatie\MediaLibrary\MediaCollections\Models\Media has __invoke passing it to the collection ->search results in a fatal error..

TypeError
Argument 1 passed to Spatie\MediaLibrary\MediaCollections\HtmlableMedia::attributes() must be of the type array, int given, called in /srv/www/carandclassic/laravel/vendor/spatie/laravel-medialibrary/src/MediaCollections/Models/Media.php 

How do we perform the system to get the index, since we can't call a ->search
