Cannot wrap query condition between brackets

I'm trying to check if a post title or content is equal to a specific string, and this post must have a specific type, so I wrote this query:

PHP Code:

$builder = $this->post
            ->select('blog_posts.*, users.username as author')
            ->join('users', 'blog_posts.author_id = users.id', 'left')
            ->where('type', $type)
            ->like('title', $search)
            ->orLike('content', $search)
            ->orderBy($order, $sort); 


this will generate the following result:

PHP Code:

SELECT `blog_posts`.*, `users`.`username` as `author`
FROM `blog_posts`
LEFT JOIN `users` ON `blog_posts`.`author_id` = `users`.`id`
WHERE `title` LIKE '%%' ESCAPE '!'
OR  `content` LIKE '%%' ESCAPE '!'
AND `type` = 'post'
ORDER BY `title` ASC
 LIMIT 6 


and return this:



but the correct query is this:

PHP Code:

SELECT `blog_posts`.*, `users`.`username` as `author`
FROM `blog_posts`
LEFT JOIN `users` ON `blog_posts`.`author_id` = `users`.`id`
WHERE (`title` LIKE '%%' ESCAPE '!'
OR  `content` LIKE '%%' ESCAPE '!')
AND `type` = 'post'
ORDER BY `title` ASC
 LIMIT 6 


'cause I need this output:



is there a way to make this query using the CodeIgniter query builder?

Yes, use Query Grouping - https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/datab...y-grouping
