Sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately something like this is not possible with the plugin's built-in features.
You can, however add a select-box filter for that table, which has search in it, so when you type it'll start displaying the results for the entered text:
This does search through the whole column by the entered text, so please notice that in the example above "ER" exists in all these cells.
hello,
is there a way to have a drop down search for "predictive search"?
example: City Search
when a person starts typing in a letter, for example, H...
all the cities that start with the H appear in the dropdown.
then if user types HE
All the cities starting with HE appear in the drop down?
ideally, you can select a few columns to be used for matching, such as:
City, State, and Country fields -- so predictive search is matching any of those fields?
Thanks
PS. if this is not available, please add it :)
