Hi @rpm765 ,
Have you given any specific attribute for search to be disabled in the shortcode that you have used??
Could you please send me a screenshot of your shortcode and the settings applied, so that I could guess what went wrong?
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Kind Regards.

Stephen,
Thanks again for the prompt reply. You will be happy to hear that I found the problem.
When I originally set up this table, the search function was NOT turned on in the admin interface. Later, after the table had been built, I set the search to “ON” in the admin interface. However the shortcode on the page contained the parameter “search=”0”. When I changed that to read “search=”1″ the search window appeared and the search worked. The full shortcode now reads:
[tablesome table_id=”1809″ search=”1″ hide_table_header=”0″ sorting=”0″ filters=”0″ page_limit=”15”]
If I have interpreted this problem correctly, if you make a change in the back end after a table has been built, as I did with the search function, the shortcode has to be re-copied and re-inserted into the page. The plugin does not automatically make the change. That is not clear in the instructions.
Hi @rpm765 ,
Thanks for getting back to us.
1. There is no connection between admin interface and the shortcode. Settings are used for Global purpose that would affect all the tables in general and shortcodes are used if you want to change that setting for any specific table alone.
2. If you are using specific shortcode attributes, the changes has to be made in shortcode only. Global setting will not have any effect on it.
3. This is the priority in order: If the table has specific shortcode attribute, it would be taken as the top priority. If there are no specific attributes, like in your case if the search shortcode was never included, it would take the value from settings.
I hope that answers your questions. I would make sure to make these clear in our documentation.
Thank much for your kind feedback.
Kind Regards.

Thanks again, Stephen. I must say, you are very responsive on this plugin. That is a good thing. I understand how things work now and I really like this plugin.
I have my fingers crossed that you can write the code for appending data to an existing table, as we are discussing in the other thread.
Hi Rich ,
Thanks much for your kind words.
I will make sure to get back to you and let you know once that is ready.
Kind Regards.
