Hi,

I still opened this question but my license was expired.

I have a table in which I set the relation foreign key with a food database that contains at least 5000 records. When I open add modal to insert a food in my table, it open all 5000 records ordered from A to Z. It is slow process and difficult to find a specific food because you have to scroll down all the food list. 

For this reason, I want to add a searchbox. Your previous suggestion was:

"

If you need it in edit modal then you have to change code in file

wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/templates/frontend/edit_dialog.inc.php around line 71you will find

<?php if ($dataColumn->getPossibleValuesAjax() !== -1) { ?>data-live-search="true" data-live-search-placeholder="Search..."<?php } ?>

and you have to replace it with this

data-live-search="true" data-live-search-placeholder="Search..."

You have to do one more thing to turn off option Use minified wpDataTables Javascript on CUSTOM JS and CSS tab in settings of plugin, because on front end are used minified files and you were changing original files in core. Like this when you turn it off will be included original files and selecbox in edit modal will work on front. "

But I can't find the code you mentioned around line 71. I can't find it in all edit_dialog.inc.php file. Also if I use search function, I can't find it.

How can I solve it?

thanks

Pasquale
