I have an information table my user access to locate documents. The table has 30,000 records and 25 fields. I can use wpDataTables for a basic search displaying just the 5 primary fields and using Master Data Tables to display all fields in a pop-up. What I need is an advanced search form where users can choose which fields to search and display their search results. What should I be using? All my attempts to locate a "Search Form" give me forms which users enter data. No user will be entering data to this table.
My table display is 5 columns wide. There are 21 different fields on which a user may search. There are also eight fields in which the user should have no access (no search, no filter, no view). I thought I saw a method of having the user select which columns to search on, and then getting those column results.
Finally, is there a way to modify how the search filters display?
