 * Wonderful Plug in! really neat and easy to use. I was wondering if i can add 
   different search fields like this [http://www.bluenile.com/diamond-search?pt=setform&track=DiamondSearchRD](http://www.bluenile.com/diamond-search?pt=setform&track=DiamondSearchRD).

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question.
 * Sorry, unfortunately, I do not have a readily usable solution to this. It should
   however be possible to do this on a custom basis, as you can e.g. see on the 
   tutorial page for the DataTables JS library that TablePress uses for the search,
   at
    [http://jquery-datatables-column-filter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/external.html](http://jquery-datatables-column-filter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/external.html)
   Unfortunately, I can not directly help with that, so that I’d suggest that you
   manually add this JS to your page, and only let TablePress create the HTML code
   for the table, but not the JS.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi,
 * well, that is the harder part. The best way should be to create custom page template
   in your theme, for the page with the table. There, you could add the JS code,
   as explained on that page, and also in the rest of the documentation and tutorials
   of the DataTables JS library at [http://www.datatables.net](http://www.datatables.net).
   
   So, you will need some custom programming here, not just to add the functionality,
   but also to then customize it to your needs.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
