Laravel | Unable to get multiple keywords mapped to return combined results | Class 'App\Http\Controllers\API\Post' not found

Issue :

I'm trying to get multiple keywords searched in a single query, but for some reason I'm getting this error always :

[2020-08-29 03:50:02] development.ERROR: Class 'App\Http\Controllers\API\Post' not found {"exception":"[object] (Symfony\\Component\\Debug\\Exception\\FatalThrowableError(code: 0): Class 'App\\Http\\Controllers\\API\\Post' not found at /home2/examplehat/public_html/shopper/app/Http/Controllers/API/ClassifiedSearchAPIController.php:78)
[stacktrace]

Here's my controller's index function :

    public function index(Request $request)
    { 
      
     
        try{
            $this->productRepository->pushCriteria(new RequestCriteria($request));
            $this->productRepository->pushCriteria(new LimitOffsetCriteria($request));
            $this->productRepository->pushCriteria(new ProductsOfFieldsCriteria($request));
            if($request->get('trending',null) == 'week'){
                $this->productRepository->pushCriteria(new TrendingWeekCriteria($request));
            }
            else{
                $this->productRepository->pushCriteria(new NearCriteria($request));
            }

//            $this->productRepository->orderBy('closed');
//            $this->productRepository->orderBy('area');
        
          $queryString = $request->query;
          $terms = explode(" ", request('q'));
        if ($queryString = $request->query('search')) {
           //  [$column, $term] = explode(':', $queryString);

            $products = Post::query()              //----PROBLEM HERE
    ->whereHas('name', function ($query) use ($terms) {
        foreach ($terms as $term) {
            // Loop over the terms and do a search for each.
            $query->where('name', 'like', '%' . $term . '%');
        }
    })->get();
  
    //    $products = Product::where('name', 'like', '%' . $term . '%')->get();
}

else
        
           $products = $this->productRepository->all(); 
           
        //  $products = Product::where('name', 'like', '%' . 'chilli' . '%')->get();
    
       
        } catch (RepositoryException $e) {
            return $this->sendError($e->getMessage());
        }

        return $this->sendResponse($products->toArray(), 'Products retrieved successfully');
    }

Can someone please help me understand what needs to be done to fix the error stated ? I tried use App\Post; but it didn't help.
