This code is intended to be used for filtering a table of data
The data is loaded from the file data.js in the format...
var data = [
["cols","name","mpg","cylinders","displacement","horsepower","weight","acceleration","modelyear","origin" ],
["data","chevrolet chevelle malibu","18","8","307","130","3504","12","70","1" ],
["data","buick skylark 320","15","8","350","165","3693","11.5","70","1" ],
["data","plymouth satellite","18","8","318","150","3436","11","70","1" ],
]
table is written with dataToTable() and is then filtered with filterTable()
All operands are assumed to be seach terms, so a single value of hello would search for rows which contain the word hello
All unquoted terms asume cass insensitive, while wuoted terms are case sensitive. So seaching for "Hello" is case sensitive while Hello is not
Operators supported are
( ) left and right parenthesis
! not NOT operator
|| or OR operator
&& and AND operator
If 2 operands are adjacent then the AND between them is assumed, this means that if you for search for here there it is expanded to here and there and a filter is executed which looks for rows which contain here and there but not do not have to be in that order. to search fo ran exact matach you woudl use "here there" in quotes.
When seaching for things which contain spaces or quotes or keywords or you want them to be case sensitive then you quote the search terms with either single or doble quotes e.g. "hello" or 'hello'
