The expression $wild of type string|false is loosely compared to true; this is ambiguous if the string can be empty. You might want to explicitly use !== false instead.

The expression $search_columns of type array is implicitly converted to a boolean; are you sure this is intended? If so, consider using empty($expr) instead to make it clear that you intend to check for an array without elements.
