Material-table: search from external field

[blackbadgerltd]

I would like to have my search field external to the table. For remote datasources this is fine as I can intercept the query object and modify it, but for local data objects I cannot apply the filter it seems. Is there a way to do this?

I would also like to do the same for filters if possible also.

Cheers

Hi @blackbadgerltd ,

Look at 3rd example. It lets you to override filtering and search algorithm. So you can search on external fields.

Cheers, I was hoping for more of a ‘set the search text’ and let the magic happen, otherwise I would have to reimplement the standard search on every column, and filtering.

@blackbadgerltd Can you tell me how you apply the filter? although it is possible to use external fields, the search is only performed when the search field changes. I couldn't find a way.

Revisiting this. Why isn't this an included feature?
