Hi All,
I know this question have been asked many times but i am not getting a current and exact answer to my situation.
I have a table with company names. The users wants to be able to sort the tables from first letter on wards.
Example:
Apron Holdings
Appi Limited
Full Application limited
By searching "Ap" should only list - Apron Holdings and Appi Limited.
- I do not want to use the per columns per search box method
- I want to use the the default search box available
- I have tried switching off smart search and regex search
I am sure many are looking for answer to this but there is no direct answer - or am i wrong?
Will appreciate if someone can help me.
Regards, ejay56

I am leaving a reply to my own comment in case another beginner looks for the same someday. You may or may not find a solution on this forum - but google search with different keyword lead me to this website

The only you can achieve this is by building a server-side-processing, meaning you will call an ajax file to define how your search box will behave.
