Search not working on Tables

[dougmays]

i have a basic html table and i'm trying to implement search on it using this code, to just search the first column

//Search Control
$(function() {
$('.search-query').fastLiveFilter('tbody td:first-child');
});

.search-query is my input
and
tbody td:first-child is to reference the first column of TD's

I think the feature added by pull #6 may solve this issue. I haven't tested it myself, but the theory is that you'd want to search your td:first-child values, but show/hide your tr row.

Out of the box jquery.fastLiveFilter just toggles the same thing being searched which I don't imagine would work for a td. We could merge in the new features to provide more functionality at the cost of performance, but what would be nice is getting the functionality added so that performance only suffers when using a feature where it would.
