    Hi,

    I’m not exactly sure what you mean here. Can you maybe explain this with a small example?

    (Note that this functionaliy is provided by the external DataTables JavaScript library, which I can not extend. But maybe I know a solution.)

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Ok what I mean is if I type in for example sony the table shows results for sony only. But when I type in sony, panasonic it shows nothing. Is there a way to show both results?

    Hi,

    ah, ok. Thanks for the example.

    I’m afraid that this is not possible, and as this is a feature of the DataTables JavaScript library, I don’t have a way to change this. Sorry 🙁

    But maybe there’s a solution for you: Instead of using the regular filter field, you could use an Extension that adds drop down select boxes above a table. For more information on that, please see http://tablepress.org/extensions/datatables-columnfilterwidgets/
    That page also has a link to an example table that uses this.

    Regards,
