How to apply 'like' or '=' filters livewire component?

Question

I want to filter data by using 'like' or '=' but I do not want to expose them directly in the view because it is easy to manipulate form view, this is my render method:

public function render(){
        $bc = BC::query();
        $bc = $bc->where($this->option, $this->condition,$this->searchString)->get();
        return view('livewire.customer', [
            'bCs' => $bc,
        ]);
    }

This is my front element, and it will not working when I use the like.

<select wire:model="condition" class="form-control">
    <option value="like">Like</option>
    <option value="=">=</option>
</select>

I am not sure that this is the best approach but it's working for me.

public $sign ;
if($this->condition == 'like')
{
    $this->sign = '%';
}else if($this->condition == '='){
    $this->sign = '';
}else{
    $this->sign = '%';
    $this->condition = 'like'
}
public function render(){
   $bc = BC::query();
   $bc = $bc->where($this->option, $this->condition,$this->sign.$this->searchString.$this->sign)->get();
        return view('livewire.customer', [
            'bCs' => $bc,
        ]);
    }
