THIS PROJECT IS VERY MUCH DEAD AND NOT MAINTAINED. IT'S BEEN 6+ YEARS SINCE THE LAST UPDATES. DON'T EXPECT THIS TO WORK.

jQuery quicksearch plug-in

A jQuery based plug-in for filtering large data sets with user input

Examples

Usage

Note that the usage has changed in the latest version of quicksearch, the code is not backwards compatible, the form and input are not build by the script any more.

$(input_selector).quicksearch(elements_to_search, options);

Example on table rows

/* Example form */
<form>
	<input type="text" id="search">
</form>

/* Example table */
<table>
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td>Test cell</td>
			<td>Another test cell</td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.quicksearch.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	$('input#search').quicksearch('table tbody tr');
</script>

Example on the <th> elements on a table row

$('input#search').quicksearch('table tbody tr', {
	selector: 'th'
});

Example of how to use with JS

var qs = $('input#id_search_list').quicksearch('ul#list_example li');
$('ul#list_example').append('<li>Loaded with Ajax</li>');
qs.cache();

Example of how to use with Ajax

var qs = $('input#search').quicksearch('table tbody tr');
$.ajax({
	'type': 'GET',
	'url': 'index.html',
	'success': function (data) {
		$('table tbody tr').append(data);
		qs.cache();
	}
});

  • show

    Function that will add styles to matched elements
  • hide

    Function that will add styles to unmatched elements
  • prepareQuery

    Function that transforms text from input_selector into query used by 'testQuery' function

	},

	}
	'prepareQuery': function (val) {
		return new RegExp(val, "i");
	},

		return query.test(txt);
	}
});
