Search in hidden columns

    Is it possible to have a search box for a specific HIDDEN column in the free version of TablePress – or a drop down meny for chosing which columns to search in (also the hidden ones)? I believe the existing search box searches in the entire spreadsheet.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Correct, by default, the Search field searches all columns of the table (unless the column is marked as “hidden” (and then has a red-colored background) on the “Edit” screen).

    To have hidden columns searchable, you would have to hide it with CSS code instead, e.g.

    .tablepress-id-123 .column-5 {
  display: none;
}

    Making a visible column not-searchable is possible by adding a “Custom Command”. Unfortunately, there’s no existing solution for adding a dropdown to chose searchable columns, sorry.

    Regards,
    Tobias
