Search different columns of table

I'm trying to work a way where you can click a button and search by different columns in a table. I can figure out the buttons and to change the [0] to [1] to search different columns, but how would i make it more dynamic, using javascript. I only want to search by 1 column at a time, so only search by first name or only search by nationality etc...
it is a basic code, I did web programming 20 years ago and im trying to get back up to speed.
function myFunction() {
var input, filter, table, tr, td, i, txtValue;
input = document.getElementById("myInput");
filter = input.value.toUpperCase();
table = document.getElementById("myTable");
tr = table.getElementsByTagName("tr");
for (i = 0; i < tr.length; i++) {
td = tr[i].getElementsByTagName("td")[0];
if (td) {
txtValue = td.textContent || td.innerText;
if (filter) {
if (txtValue.toUpperCase() == filter) {
tr[i].style.display = "";
} else {
tr[i].style.display = "none";
}
} else {
tr[i].style.display = "";
}
}
}
}

Here's my take Dar.
//Define a column to look in
// const column = 4
//Get the value from the input
// const searchFor = document.getElementById('myInput').value
//Grab all the cells for the column
columnCells = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(`#myTable tr td:nth-child(${column})`))
//Clear out previous matches
columnCells.forEach(cell=>cell.style.background = 'white')
//Filter the cells by the searchFor term
matchingCells = columnCells.filter(cell=>{
return cell.textContent.toLowerCase().includes(searchFor.toLowerCase()) && searchFor != ""
})
//Color them
matchingCells.forEach(cell=>cell.style.background = 'yellow')

Sorry for my bad English, can't explain all what I need, hope you understand what I need

You should keep track of your selections with a Set. If you want multiple filters, you could use a Map instead. Add to the set if the option is enabled and remove if it gets disabled.
Use a class to hide the rows that do not meet the filter criteria.
const filterVals = new Set();
const isValid = (value) => filterVals.size === 0 || filterVals.has(value);
const handleInputChange = ({ target: { checked, value } }) => {
if (checked) filterVals.add(value);
else filterVals.delete(value);
updateTableRows();
}
const updateTableRows = () =>
document.querySelectorAll('.option').forEach(option => {
option.closest('tr').classList.toggle('hidden-row', !isValid(option.textContent));
});
document.querySelectorAll('#input-opts input[type="checkbox"]')
.forEach(input => input.addEventListener('input', handleInputChange));
table { border-collapse: collapse; }
table, th, td { border: thin solid grey; }
th, td { padding 0.25em; text-align: center; }
.hidden-row { display: none; }
#input-opts { margin-bottom: 1em; }
#input-opts label { margin-right: 1em; }
<div id="input-opts">
<label>Name 1 <input type="checkbox" value="1" /></label>
<label>Name 2 <input type="checkbox" value="2" /></label>
<label>Name 3 <input type="checkbox" value="3" /></label>

</table>

a way to do that
const TD_option =
[...document.querySelectorAll('#myTable td.option')] // make an array
.map(el=>( // of objects { val, el }
{ val : el.textContent.trim().toLowerCase()
, tr : el.closest('tr')
}))
;
document
.querySelectorAll('#InputOpts input[type="checkbox"]')
.forEach( ckbx =>
{
ckbx.checked = true // all are displayed on document load
let chkVal = ckbx.value.toLowerCase()
ckbx.oninput = e =>
{
TD_option.forEach( row =>
{
if (chkVal == row.val )
row.tr.classList.toggle('noDisplay', !ckbx.checked )

how to use bootstrap filter for searching a name by first letter

I am using bootstrap filter for searching. But,for example when I type 'n' it shows all the name having 'n' like nathan, arjan . I don't want that.I want like this : if i type 'n' it will show only the names which starts with 'n' like nathaan,narima.
my blade.php code here:
<input class="form-control" id="myInput" type="text" placeholder="Search..">
<tbody id="myTable">
<tr>
<td>John</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Anja</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
my script part here
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#myInput").on("keyup", function() {
var value = $(this).val().toLowerCase();
$("#myTable tr").filter(function() {
$(this).toggle($(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(value) > -1)
});
});
});
</script>

There is a method called startsWith that you can use. The documentation can be found at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/startsWith
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#myInput").on("keyup", function() {
var value = $(this).val().toLowerCase();
$("#myTable tr").filter(function() {
$(this).toggle($(this).text().toLowerCase().startsWith(value))
});
});
});
</script>

you can change the method if you want.
$("#myInput").bind("keyup", function() {
var text = $(this).val().toLowerCase();
var items = $("tr td");
//first, hide all:
items.parent().hide();
//show only those matching user input:
items.filter(function () {
return $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(text) == 0;
}).parent().show();
});

Another way would be using RegExp:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#myInput").on("keyup", function() {
var value = $(this).val().toLowerCase();
$("#myTable tr").filter(function() {
/* $(this).toggle($(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(value) > -1) */
const searchRegEx = new RegExp(`^${value}`, 'i');
$(this).toggle(searchRegEx.test($(this).text().trim()));
});
});
});

Would like to know how to filter results from a specific (nested, table within table) table heading?

Have been dabbling around with this piece of code, only I could do with some input. Could really do with a follow up working examples altered code snippet if at all possible. Need to figure the filter/search - returning results being limited to a specified table heading ('th/tr' - tags), namely the Title heading and search within ONLY this area, though displaying the whole cells still (Title, Description and Date).Any questions I'll be pleased to help.
var input, table, rows, noMatches, markInstance;

As continuation from comments above, and since this was something basic that you would like to use, i posted it here.
I added some notes on the code but the essences are:
This is just a really basic approach without any use of libraries.
I play with classes in order to hide the table rows and also to mark the result
Although i leave the part on the script that display: none; the lines of the table, you can manipulate the CSS and delete it from the code.
function myFunction() {
var input, filter, table, tr, td, i, txtValue;
input = document.getElementById("myInput");
filter = input.value.toUpperCase();
table = document.getElementById("myTable");
tr = table.querySelectorAll("tbody > tr");
for (i = 0; i < tr.length; i++) { // Loop through all table rows, and hide those who don't match the search query
td = tr[i].getElementsByTagName("td")[0]; // this will search on the Title col. You can change this to search on other cols.
if (td) {
txtValue = td.textContent || td.innerText;
if (txtValue.toUpperCase().indexOf(filter) > -1) { // found
tr[i].style.display = "";
tr[i].classList.add("mark"); // mark result
}
else { // didn't found
tr[i].style.display = "none";
tr[i].classList.remove("mark"); // unmark result
}
}
if (input.value === '') { // case the input is clear
tr[i].classList.remove("mark"); // unmark result
tr[i].style.display = "none";
}
}
}
table {position: relative; min-width: 320px;} /* */
tbody tr {opacity: 0;} /* this will hide the table's info + will show the result under the headers */
tr.mark {opacity: 1;} /* this will show the result row */
/* basic style (markers) to the result row - just for demonstration purpose */
tr.mark td {background: yellow;} /* (second) col */
tr.mark td:first-child {background: blue;} /* first col */
tr.mark td:last-child {background: orange;} /* third col*/
<input type="text" id="myInput" onkeyup="myFunction()" placeholder="Search Titles..">
<table id="myTable">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Title</th>
<th>Description</th>
<th>Date</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>bla bla bla</td>
<td>description1</td>
<td>date1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>yada yada yada</td>
<td>description2</td>
<td>date2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Another Title</td>
<td>description3</td>
<td>date3</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Hope that it is what you searched for, and Enjoy code!

Solution 1. you can play with css selectors to achieve your goal:
#myTable table tr:first-child td mark {
background: orange;
font-weight: bold;
color: black;
}
mark {
background: initial;
}
Solution 2. edit your init function for sibling only titles like this:
$(document).ready(function init() {
input = document.getElementById('myInput');
noMatches = document.getElementById('noMatches');
/************************************************
NOTE :: your last table element doesn't match your template
************************************************/
table = document.querySelectorAll('#myTable table tr:first-child td');
rows = document.querySelectorAll('#myTable table tr');
markInstance = new Mark(table);
input.addEventListener('keyup', _.debounce(ContactsearchFX, 250));
});
Have fun

How to check and Uncheck checkbox and also how to make the checkbox click out of the row click

Only one row having class highlightRowSelected one time and that row's checkbox is ticked - this is working
How to make other checkboxes deselect which does not have class highlightRowSelected and also other rows checkbox es can be ticked but that should not add class highlightRowSelected to that row , only row click(not from checkbox col) should add the class highlightRowSelected to that row
you can change the function declaration and make a pure js call rather than specifying getdetails(row) in the html..
Also the rows are dynamic so cant hardcode id or something in html
Check out this fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/y7jqb5hp/13/
function getdetails(row) {
el = window.event.srcElement;
if (el.id.substr(0, 7) == 'eachRow')
el = null;
if (row.cells[0].children[0].checked == false && el != null) {
row.cells[0].children[0].checked = true;
} else if (row.cells[0].children[0].checked == false && el != null) {
row.cells[0].children[0].checked = true;
}
$("#tableID tbody tr").each(function() {
$(this).removeClass("highlightRowSelected");
});
$(row).addClass("highlightRowSelected");
}
table {
font-family: arial, sans-serif;
border-collapse: collapse;
width: 100%;
}
td,
th {
border: 1px solid #dddddd;
text-align: left;
padding: 8px;
}
.highlightRowSelected {
background-color: #e2e2e2;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table id="tableID">
<tr onclick="getdetails(this)">
<th>checkbox</th>
<th>Company</th>
<th>Contact</th>
<th>Country</th>
</tr>
<tr onclick="getdetails(this)">
<td><input name="eachRow" type="checkbox" /> </td>
<td>Alfreds </td>
<td>Maria </td>
<td>Germany</td>
</tr>
<tr onclick="getdetails(this)">
<td><input name="eachRow" type="checkbox" /> </td>
<td>Centro </td>
<td>Francisco </td>
<td>Mexico</td>
</tr>
<tr onclick="getdetails(this)">
<td><input name="eachRow" type="checkbox" /> </td>
<td>Ernst </td>
<td>Roland </td>
<td>Austria</td>
</table>

I just changed the second condition of your JS code, added to unselect others:
$('input:checkbox').removeAttr('checked');
And took away the call getdetails from the header row.
Also added:
$('input:checkbox').click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
to handle the checkbox ticks separately from row clicks.
function getdetails(row) {
el = window.event.srcElement;
if (el.id.substr(0, 7) == 'eachRow')
el = null;
if (row.cells[0].children[0].checked == false && el != null) {
$('input:checkbox').removeAttr('checked');
row.cells[0].children[0].checked = true;
} else if (row.cells[0].children[0].checked == true && el != null) {
row.cells[0].children[0].checked = false;
}
$("#tableID tbody tr").each(function() {
$(this).removeClass("highlightRowSelected");
});
$(row).addClass("highlightRowSelected");
}
$('input:checkbox').click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
table {
font-family: arial, sans-serif;
border-collapse: collapse;
width: 100%;
}
td,
th {
border: 1px solid #dddddd;
text-align: left;
padding: 8px;
}
.highlightRowSelected {
background-color: #e2e2e2;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table id="tableID">
<tr>
<th>checkbox</th>
<th>Company</th>
<th>Contact</th>
<th>Country</th>
</tr>
<tr onclick="getdetails(this)">
<td><input name="eachRow" type="checkbox" /> </td>
<td>Alfreds </td>
<td>Maria </td>
<td>Germany</td>
</tr>
<tr onclick="getdetails(this)">
<td><input name="eachRow" type="checkbox" /> </td>
<td>Centro </td>
<td>Francisco </td>
<td>Mexico</td>
</tr>
<tr onclick="getdetails(this)">
<td><input name="eachRow" type="checkbox" /> </td>
<td>Ernst </td>
<td>Roland </td>
<td>Austria</td>
</table>

update your js function:
function getdetails(row) {
if ($(row).find('input[type="checkbox"]').is(":checked")) {
$(row).find('input[type="checkbox"]').prop('checked', false);
$(row).removeClass("highlightRowSelected");
return false;
}
var isChecked = false;
$("#tableID tbody tr").each(function () {
if ($(this).find('input[type="checkbox"]').is(":checked")) {
isChecked = true;
}
});
if (isChecked) {
$(row).find('input[type="checkbox"]').prop('checked', true);
return false;
} else {
$('table input[type="checkbox"]').prop('checked', false);
$(row).find('input[type="checkbox"]').prop('checked', true);
}
$("#tableID tbody tr").each(function () {
$(this).removeClass("highlightRowSelected");
});
$(row).addClass("highlightRowSelected");
}
updated fiddle

use jquery to trigger the function,
ex.
<tr id="1" onclick="checkMe(this.id)"><input type='checkbox'></tr>
<tr id="2" onclick="checkMe(this.id)"><input type='checkbox'></tr>
jquery:
function checkMe(id){
$(this).closest('[type=checkbox]').attr('checked', true);
}
