Data Grid Search

The search functionality in Jspreadsheet enables row filtering via keyword matching. This feature supports modifying or terminating search operations, catering to varied application requirements. This section provides an in-depth examination of the search feature, focusing on the technical aspects of methods and events to customize search behaviour according to application specifications.

Documentation

Methods

Below are methods associated with implementing and managing search functionality in the spreadsheet:

Method	Description
search	`search(terms: String) : void` Search for the data grid rows that contain the specified terms.
resetSearch	`resetSearch() : void` Reset the search terms and show all rows again.
showSearch	`showSearch() : void` Show the search input box.
hideSearch	`hideSearch() : void` Hide the search input box.
updateSearch	`updateSearch() : void` Refresh the results on the viewport.

Events

Jspreadsheet provides a framework for developers to tailor the search functionality within the data grid using specific events. These events can alter or halt the search process, granting enhanced oversight of the search mechanism. It allows for implementing intricate and targeted filtering according to diverse criteria.

Event	Description
onbeforesearch	`onbeforesearch(worksheet: Object, terms: String, results: Array, search: Object)` Action to be executed before the search. It can be used to cancel or to intercept and customize the search process.
onsearchstart	`onsearchstart(worksheet: Object, terms: String)` It happens before all the search events.
onsearchrow	`onsearchrow(worksheet: Object, rowNumber: number, terms: String)` It helps to customize the searching process.
onsearch	`onbeforesearch(worksheet: Object, terms: String, rowNumber: Array, search: Object)` After the search process is completed.

Initial Settings

Below are properties available to configure the online spreadsheet at its initialization.

Property	Description
search: boolean	Enable or disable search.
