/**
* THIS CLUNKY BIT IS VERY IMPORTANT
*
* Although inelegant, this section matters a lot when querying against fields that do not
* exist on the asset table. There's probably a better way to do this moving forward, for
* example using the Schema:: methods to determine whether or not a column actually exists,
* or even just using the $searchableRelations variable earlier in this file.
*
* In short, this set of statements tells the query builder to ONLY query against an
* actual field that's being passed if it doesn't meet known relational fields. This
* allows us to query custom fields directly in the assets table
* (regardless of their name) and *skip* any fields that we already know can only be
* searched through relational searches that we do earlier in this method.
*
* For example, we do not store "location" as a field on the assets table, we store
* that relationship through location_id on the assets table, therefore querying
* assets.location would fail, as that field doesn't exist -- plus we're already searching
* against those relationships earlier in this method.
