Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize for the delayed response as we have been experiencing an unusually high number of tickets. I am sorry that it has taken longer than usual to respond to your concern and your patience is highly appreciated.

I am sorry, but if you need a "global search", that can perform a search on multiple tables at the same time,
unfortunately, we don't have any way to achieve that currently.
But, we can make a suggestion for our developers for an improvement.
to see if someone may be already suggested this feature. If you can't see it, feel free to add your suggestion there, and as more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.
You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like ( it is also available in the plugin dashboard), where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;
and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.

If you need a solution for it now, maybe it can be done with a high level of custom work, but I am not sure, to be honest. Our developers are very busy at the moment, working on some priority tasks and fixing bugs and issues with our plugins, so they won't be having the time for custom work in the near future.
We can recommend reaching out to someone who does custom solutions, such as WP Kraken, but we can't advise on their pricing.
I did try Ivory Search and didn't work, but did reach out to them.
here is there reply...
Hi Jeffrey,
I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.
I could confirm that the plugin doesn't search wpDataTables content but it searches TablePress content so could you please contact the wpDataTables support to know why this is and whether there are any plugin settings to make it work?
Do you have a plugin or a way to search all the data that is shown in these Tables?
I have created hundreds of tables with your wpDataTables, found it great...
Now I need to find a way to search for the information across the website?
Ideas? Thoughts?
Thanks!!!

Hi, Jeffrey
Sorry for the delay

We are not familiar with Ivory Search, and I can not comment on other datatable plugins.
You can try other plugins that might achieve what you need,
but we are not aware of any plugins or any other workaround to achieve such global search across all database tables with our plugin, as you need.
I am really sorry that I can't be more helpful in this regard at this time,
but our developers will do their best to make a built-in option for this in the future.
Don't hesitate to open new tickets if you have any other questions.
Thank you
Kind Regards,
Miloš Jovanović
