Search of all content of all Tables at different Page ?

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

No, sorry, something like this is not possible, as the search field requires the table to be on the page. It can not “collect” the search results from other pages, as it is based on JavaScript that only runs on that one page.

Regards,
Tobias

Hello Tobias,

I understood the reply and you probably would have suggested it if was possible. BUT, is it possible to have a URL that loads the page with table, with the search term and shows the results upon table load?

i.e. https://www.domain.com/table-on-this-page/search?aliens

If that was possible I could then allow users to click from an index and search what they’re seeking after browsing a list and clicking on a key phrase.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

yes, this is possible, with the TablePress Row Filter Extension from https://tablepress.org/extensions/row-filter/ plus the Extension from https://tablepress.org/extensions/shortcode-filter-get-parameter/

Instead of the Row Filter Extension (which will completely remove all non-matching rows from the visible result set), you could also use the https://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-auto-filter/ Extension. To make that work, you’ll just need a small modification in the Shortcode Filter from GET parameter Extension, see https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/filtering-tablepress-before-displaying?replies=10#post-6995354
