Filter table with multiple search strings (Vanilla JS)

Question

• I'm trying to do this but instead to search within multiple columns of the same table: [https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_filter_table.asp][1]
• In this example above, I would want not only want to filter by "name", but also by "Country".
• I found a similar post here, however it's for seven separate columns and there is no other vanilla JS code I could find: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47274028/filtering-table-with-multiple-filters?answertab=oldest#tab-top][2]
• I tried duplicating the loop (as shown below), but obviously that didn't work because the matches conflict with the first loop.

This is a little too advanced for me and I require a solution. Any help is appreciated.

function myFunction() {
  // Declare variables 
  var input, filter, table, tr, td, i, txtValue;
  input = document.getElementById("myInput");
  filter = input.value.toUpperCase();
  table = document.getElementById("myTable");
  tr = table.getElementsByTagName("tr");

  // Loop through all table rows, and hide those who don't match the search query
  for (i = 0; i < tr.length; i++) {
    td1 = tr[i].getElementsByTagName("td")[0];
    if (td1) {
      txtValue1 = td1.textContent || td1.innerText;
      if (txtValue1.toUpperCase().indexOf(filter) > -1) {
        tr[i].style.display = "";
      } else {
        tr[i].style.display = "none";
      }
    } 
  }
  // this is what i've tried adding, but oviously, it conflicts with the first loop when matching
  for (j = 0; j < tr.length; j++) {
    td2 = tr[j].getElementsByTagName("td")[1];
    if (td2) {
      txtValue2 = td2.textContent || td2.innerText;
      if (txtValue2.toUpperCase().indexOf(filter) > -1) {
        tr[j].style.display = "";
      } else {
        tr[j].style.display = "none";
      }
    } 
  }

}

Okay i thought differently my mistake you can separate search function to do easy work and you can try i have modified my code with concatenation of string.

function myFunction() {
 var input, filter, table, tr, td, i, txtValue;
  input = document.getElementById("myInput");
  filter = input.value.toUpperCase();
  table = document.getElementById("myTable");
  tr = table.getElementsByTagName("tr");
   search(input, filter, table, tr);

}


function search(input, filter, table, tr){
 for (i = 1; i < tr.length ; i++) {
    td = tr[i].getElementsByTagName("td");
    var concat='';
    for (j = 0; j < td.length; j++) {
     txtValue = td[j].textContent || td[j].innerText;
     concat += txtValue+' ';
     }
     console.log(concat);
    if (td) {

      if (concat.toUpperCase().search(filter) > -1) {
        tr[i].style.display = "";
      } else {
        tr[i].style.display = "none";

      }
      }
  }
}

Maybe this modified function is of help to you. The basic change is that it does not search within individual table cells but within the concatenated text content of a complete table row.

function myFunction() {
  var input, filter, table, tr, td, i, txtValue;
  input = document.getElementById("myInput");
  filter = input.value.toUpperCase();
  table = document.getElementById("myTable");
  tr = table.getElementsByTagName("tr");  
  for (i = 0; i < tr.length; i++) {
  
    var rowContent = tr[i].textContent;    
    rowContent = rowContent.replace(/[\s]+/g, ' ');
    //console.log(rowContent);    
  
    if (rowContent) {
      if (rowContent.toUpperCase().includes(filter)) {
        tr[i].style.display = "";
      } else {
        tr[i].style.display = "none";
      }
    }  
    
  }
}

Split the search string by space and filter the columns for each word. You can use the same for() for both columns. Try this code:

function myFunction() {
  var src, input, filter, table, tr, td, i, txtValue;
  input = document.getElementById("myInput");
  filter = input.value.toUpperCase().trim().split(' ');
  table = document.getElementById("myTable");
  for (j = 0; j < filter.length; j++) {
    tr = table.getElementsByTagName("tr");
    src = filter[j].trim();
    for (i = 0; i < tr.length; i++) {
      td = tr[i].getElementsByTagName("td")[0];
      td2 = tr[i].getElementsByTagName("td")[1];
      if (src.length>1 && td && td2) {
        txtValue = td.textContent || td.innerText;
        txtValue2 = td2.textContent || td2.innerText;
        if (txtValue.toUpperCase().indexOf(src) > -1 || txtValue2.toUpperCase().indexOf(src) > -1) {
          tr[i].style.display = "";
        } else {
          tr[i].style.display = "none";
        }
      }       
    }
  }
}
