    Hello
    If I search for a word that exists in a few tables/posts, will it be found?
    Thank you

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    TablePress integrates into the regular WordPress site search, so content in tables that are embedded into a page or post via the Shortcode or editor blocks will be found just like any other content in that page/post.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi,

    TablePress does not have a feature for that, sorry.

    But do you think with custom development can be achieved ?

    Hi,

    do you mean the highlighting of search results in the tables (then yes, this should be doable), or do you mean that just the tables are shown in the search results?

    I don’t know for sure.
    The scope of this, there will be a lot of excels uploaded, and my users will search in WP, and the result should be tabular (excel-like) so they can copy/paste in another place only the search result, without entering in all the posts, then search again, then copy.. Too much effort.

    Hi,

    ok. In principle, this could be doable, but it would require custom WordPress programming as well, for example by modifying how the theme renders and shows search results then. It will not be super easy though and it’s more than I what I can help with, I’m afraid.

    Regards,
    Tobias
