Way to restrict filtering from the start of text in row

[iliasiovis]

Hello,

your plugin is amazing out of the box and it's really helpful!

I was wondering if there was a way to restrict the way it filters the table data so that it searching from the beginning of a string instead of everywhere inside the string.

For example I have the two following rows

Brown
Walter

If I type "w" inside the field, no row gets hidden. What I want is to display only the "Walter" row etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is not possible at the moment, will leave this here for future enhancement

Try this:

        var tableFilterOptions = {
            matchingRow: function (state, tr, textTokens) {
                if (!state || !state.id) { return true; }
                    return tr[0].childNodes[0].data.toLowerCase().indexOf(textTokens[0].toLowerCase()) == 0;
            }
        }
        $('#SecurityHome').tableFilter(tableFilterOptions);
