We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!

We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.

You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.

While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.

We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.

Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!

Global table search field Behavior
Closed

    Hello I have created a browse/filter/search application and I am having a problem with the Global table search field. 

    Based on the description of this field behavior:

     "If the table does not use server-side processing feature, it will also search by multiple parts, e.g. input “Asia 12” will search by both values “Asia” and “12” in all cells. In tables with server-side processing this is not implemented because of implied performance burden." -- /documentation/general/frontend-section-overview/

    I would expect that I could put 2 terms in the box and the table would return results for both terms. But I do not find this is how it works -- I put in one term and then as soon as I start typing the second word, everything disappears unless there is a record with those 2 words exactly and in that order. 

    About my table -- there is a column of hidden data "Products", but I have maintained the search form input for that column -- the "products" cells have a bunch of text that is perfect for the search/filter but not something we want to display. 

    So, is there any way to get an "OR" search - because that is what I am reading and I do not have server side processing. That  input  is behaving as AND, just like any of the other inputs.

    Thank you, Kim Kaiser

    Hi Kim,
    Thank you for your purchase.

    Sorry for the inconvenience, but with or without serverside processing global search use AND for search values. We will change this in our documentation. Thank you for reporting this. It's require some code customization for logic that you request.


    Kind Regards,
