STEP 2:

Next step is to include JQUERY.

[code]
<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" data-wp-preserve="%3Cscript%20src%3D%22https%3A%2F%2Fajax.googleapis.com%2Fajax%2Flibs%2Fjquery%2F3.1.0%2Fjquery.min.js%22%3E%3C%2Fscript%3E" data-mce-resize="false" data-mce-placeholder="1" class="mce-object" width="20" height="20" alt="&lt;script&gt;" title="&lt;script&gt;" />
[/code]

 

STEP 3:

Last step is to add this Jquery snippet.

[code]
<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" data-wp-preserve="%3Cscript%3E%0A%20%2F%2F%20Write%20on%20keyup%20event%20of%20keyword%20input%20element%0A%20%24(document).ready(function()%7B%0A%20%24(%22%23search%22).keyup(function()%7B%0A%20%20_this%20%3D%20this%3B%0A%20%2F%2F%20Show%20only%20matching%20TR%2C%20hide%20rest%20of%20them%0A%20%24.each(%24(%22%23mytable%20tbody%20tr%22)%2C%20function()%20%7B%0A%20if(%24(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(%24(_this).val().toLowerCase())%20%3D%3D%3D%20-1)%0A%20%20%24(this).hide()%3B%0A%20else%0A%20%20%24(this).show()%3B%0A%20%7D)%3B%0A%20%7D)%3B%0A%7D)%3B%0A%3C%2Fscript%3E" data-mce-resize="false" data-mce-placeholder="1" class="mce-object" width="20" height="20" alt="&lt;script&gt;" title="&lt;script&gt;" />
