How to make the Search field search in other fields?

[marcnyc]

Hello,
I need to find a way to make the SEARCH function search in a few other fields. I had done this one but I forgot where I made the change… could you guide me towards the file that contains the search code and what fields I can add in there to be searched in the database?
Thank you so much

PS By the way, unrelated, but the Follow-up replies via email of this Support Forum never worked for me and they are not in spam either (at least not if they contain the word simpleinvoices)…

The search box is a feature of the Data Tables code that is used to generate the tables on the various management screens. As such it only searches fields that are displayed in the table.

Got it. That’s part of why I want to add some fields in that table. I’ve asked this in my other post, so I won’t double-post here and I hope you can show me in the other post how to add some fields to the table. Thank you

Not sure what you are looking for. I did respond to this in the requested, “other post,” explaining what you need to do to create and extension to do this. Was there something you didn’t understand in that response?

Sorry but I cannot find another post of mine where this is addressed… Could you please link to the relevant response or tell me in this thread how I can add fields to the Table so that I can display other fields from the database, thus have them searched by the search function?

Much appreciated.
