Hi Patrick,

Sorry, but if you require a 'table search' specifically, for this we do not have a solution at the moment.

We only have this feature for a filtering use-case available with our Powerful Filters Add-on.

It has a feature "Hide table before filtering" which can be used combined with "search" button;

Then a user needs to choose one or more filters, and only when they hit Search, the table will load only the filtered data.

Please check more about this functionality here.

Before purchase, you can test all Powerful Filters Add-on features on our sandbox site.

Let me know if that could perhaps be used as an alternative solution for your use-case, if you allow the users to use filters combined with a "search" button while hiding the initial table, etc.

For example, we recently added this new feature, a 'global Page search' which can be set via a shortcode, and if you got multiple tables on the Page - this can search through all of them at the same time.

But it doesn't work to hide them, as in your desired use-case.

If you wish to see a similar way to hide a table but not for filters, rather for this 'global search method', you can make a development suggestion.

Please feel free to search on our suggestions page, 

 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.

Hi Patrick,

No problem, we are happy to advise.

If anything else comes up, please don't hesitate to open new tickets.

Thank you.
