Make a checkbox which filters content from table

Make a checkbox which filters content from table

I'd like to make a checkbox which filters out all rows which have a column of a set value from display in the table. But so that it works like a show/hide function on those rows, but still allows the regular search to happen.

    A search plugin will work well for this. Here is an example I created previously.

    The search plugin docs describe how to control which rows are displayed:

    The plug-in search function should return a boolean value:
    true - The row should be included in the search results
    false - The row should be removed from the search results

    Here is the updated example - return false if there is a match to hide the row:
