jQuery QuickSearch

Question

1- The filtering action runs on keypressed is there a way to make it run by a button. (i.e. the table is not filter unless a button is pressed). This will help in many ways especially on huge tables or when working on multiple tables.

2- There are 2 ways on filtering (all columns or using tag) what if we were able to filter according to the column name.

<table>
  <tr>
     <td name="col1">Column 1 Row 1</td> 
     <td name="col2">Column 2 Row 1</td> 
     <td name="col3">Column 3 Row 1</td> 
     <td name="col4">Column 4 Row 1</td> 
  </tr>
  <tr>
     <td name="col1">Column 1 Row 2</td> 
     <td name="col2">Column 2 Row 2</td> 
     <td name="col3">Column 3 Row 2</td> 
     <td name="col4">Column 4 Row 2</td> 
  </tr>
  <tr>
     <td name="col1">Column 1 Row 3</td> 
     <td name="col2">Column 2 Row 3</td> 
     <td name="col3">Column 3 Row 3</td> 
     <td name="col4">Column 4 Row 3</td> 
  </tr>
</table>

3- Each time entering a new word in the input box reset the table then apply the filtering on all records. What if there is a way to give the option of filtering all the records or just the result of previously filtered. I tried this by making the following changes in your example:

$('input#id_search').quicksearch('table#table.myQS tbody tr'); $('input#id_search2').quicksearch('table#table.myQS tbody tr', ...................... then entering a word in "id_search" then another word in "id_search2" which filtered the result of the first filtering action.

4- Is there a way to get the count of filtered records (rows) in the header or footer of each table???

5- How to make onafter run an external function (i.e. function found in .js file).

6- Where can i get a documentation for Quicksearch plugin ? as there are methods isn't mentioned in the example (i.e. using a class instead of ID).

Thanks a lot
