Column search filters behaviour when pressing enter key

User Alex King 2024-10-24 10:40:46

In our website we use both the Search box widget and a number of column search Filter widgets as you can see in the image.

If search text is added to the search box and the Enter key is pressed then the search is executed with the search values as expected.

However, if some of the filter column values are used and the Enter key is pressed then the filter values are ignored and a full search is done.

Is there a way of causing the search to be executed when focus is on a filter field?

I played about with some custom Javascript but couldn't get the focus to go to the search button so any suggestions welcome.

Hi,
in fact when enter key is pressed, all the filters and the search should be combined as you expect to return the result. But we've found in some cases the enter key also causes the page to reload, so that's why you see all the records again on the table. We've just uploaded a new version that should avoid this, please upgrade and try again and let you know if you still have the issue at your site.

Great thanks - works well; the filtering seems to work without a page refresh which is good.
