When You add CONCAT, or JOIN or anything else other than a simple SELECT * FROM query, the result may be just as You described - search doesn't work, or filters don't work, or similar issues.
This is where You'd need to create a VIEW for the table to function properly.
Please try this and let me know if the issue is resolved.
hello,
ALL is good with the SQL statement and the search box (mysql type), UNLESS I add this one string field:
CONCAT('<a href="https://www.site.com',ID,'/"><img src="https://www.site.com/images/',ID,'.jpg"></a>') Photo,When I add that field to the SQL statement, the search doesn't work. It returns no records.
SO that concat function breaks the global search function (top of the table).
NOTE: the widget filter search still works, but the global search does not
HOW TO FIX?
to recap:
WORKING: Select field1, field2, field3 From table
NOT working: Select <insert above code>, field1, field2, field3 From table
thanks
