  • This is a demo of the filter_anyMatch option (v2.13.3).

  • This is a demo of the filter_external option (added v2.15).
    • +
  • In v2.15 +
      +
    • The filter_anyMatch has been removed (added v2.13.3; removed in v2.15)
      • +
    • A new option filter_external has been added. It is set to a jQuery selector string ('.search') or jQuery object ($('.search')) targetting an external input.
      • +
    • So now a table can include both a filter row (filter_columnFilters is true, i.e. the internal table filters) and any number of external search inputs (as set by the filter_external option).
      • +
    • The external search results must have a data-column="#" attribute set, where # is the index of the column (zero-based) that the input targets, to have an input search all table content, set the data column attribute to "all" to match any column.
      • +
    • The $.tablesorter.bindSearch function (see demo) does exactly the same thing as the filter_external option. The major difference is seen when using ajax to populate the table, the initial filter values can be set before tablesorter initialization when using teh filter_external option; whereas, the bind search function can not set initial filter values and is usually executed after tablesorter initialization.

Limitations

+
+
    +
  • The any-match search method has limitations applied. It does not support all of the per column search features! So, at this time, the following types of queries are not allowed as the results will cause confusion:
    • Search operators - A search for values equal, greater or less than values (> >= <= <) is not allowed because tables that contain both numbers and text (in separate columns). For example: 
      "Fred" > "1"  // true*
-"Fred" < "10" // false
-"Fred" > 1    // false (numeric comparisons occur with parsed table data)
-"Fred" > 1    // false
-"Fred" < 10   // false
      * For comparisons, letters have a greater ASCII value than numbers. +"Fred" < "10" // false +"Fred" > 1 // false (numeric comparisons occur with parsed table data) +"Fred" > 1 // false +"Fred" < 10 // false* For comparisons, letters have a greater ASCII value than numbers.
    • Range query - A search for any number range (1 - 10) is not allowed because, if any columns contain text, then no rows will result. The examples are the same as the search operators examples above.
    • Not Match query - A search for not matches (!a) is not allowed because tables that contain both numbers and text (in separate columns) will always show all rows. For example: @@ -91,15 +99,19 @@ columns[5] = '2?%'; $('table').trigger('search', [ columns ]);
