We have a WPDatatable on this page: https://niformulary.hscni.net/managed-entry/managed-entry-decisions/ It displays a table using Shortcode: [wpdatatable id=257] When I use the Wordpress built in Search to look for drug name eg Halaven it returns no results However the drug appears in several table rows in the WPDT search ?? We are considering purchasing more licenses for the Plugin but we need table content to appear in the Wordpress Search. Are there Search plugins that integrate with WPDT ?
it is disappointing that tables published using your plugin cannot be included in a website search. Strange for such a highly regarded plugin not to have considered this important. You must see how that could be inconvenient and counter intuitive to users of a website and a reason why customers won't want to buy your product. In fact i think it should be made clear to potential customers that this is the case. I have been in contact with support from plugin SearchWP that their product will include content from tables published via shortcode and i will follow this up. We will also be looking for an alternative tables plugin. Perhaps WP DataTables might put this on its development roadmap for future versions?

Hello bsowebteam
I am sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately something like this is not possible with the plugin's built-in features.
We don't have a global search, and you can't find data from within the tables through your website's search. However, the table's search works fine.
I'm not aware of any Search plugins that would work like that, so unfortunately I can't help.
Kind Regards,
Aleksandar Vuković

Hi again bsowebteam
Our development team does have that in mind, but I cannot tell you when exactly it will be included in the plugin.
I will forward it as a feature suggestion again, of course, so another vote is added to the feature, but can I ask you to do the same on this page?
It goes straight to our development team, so they have an idea how many times a feature has been requested.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Kind Regards,
Aleksandar Vuković
