    Search is one of those unique things that has be to tackled on a case-by-case basis.

    There isn’t really a one-solution-fits-all approach… it has to be built from scratch to fit your specific technical needs and use-case.

    My recommendation is to use search terms to query the database (use a LIKE-centric query to limit your results to applicable records). Provided your table usage is specifically for your admin, it shouldn’t introduce any appreciable overhead.

    Thanks Matt I will try as you suggest. Being new to plug-in development, PHP and WordPress its been quite a learning experience and frustrating at times.

    If you have any links that might be helpful, I would be grateful.
