    My table contains a row with the word E-mon in it. When a user searches on Emon or emon it does not show up in the results. The user has to know to use the dash. Can you recommend the best way to solve this? (without requiring the user to use the dash in their search)

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    The only real idea here would be that you also add the word “emon” to that cell/row than, e.g. wrapped in some HTML code that would make it hidden, e.g.
    <span class="hidden">emon</span>
    and then some “Custom CSS” on the “Plugin Options” screen like

    .tablepress span.hidden {
  display: none;
}

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi Tobias, thank you for your response. I added this, but the search field did not find emon. Any other suggestions on how I can get it to pull into the search results?

    Thank you!!

    What about a hidden column? Is there a way to hide a column? Do you think that would pull into the tables search results?

    I just tried to do a hidden column with emon in it and it DID NOT show up in the Search Results. 🙁

    Now it is working using the hidden html code. Thanks!!

    Hi,

    a hidden column should also work (if you hide it with CSS or JS).

    But good to hear that the HTML approach works now as well 🙂

    Best wishes,
    Tobias
