 * Hi Tobias
 * I tested your plugin TablePress.
 * Tell me is it possible to implement a search TablePress table using checkboxes?
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * No, sorry, TablePress does not directly support filtering using checkboxes.
    
   For that, you would have to manually load the DataTables JS library and interact
   with its JS API functions.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * You offer to install a third-party search plugin? What? Or I misunderstood you?

 * Hi,
 * no, DataTables is the open-source JavaScript library that TablePress uses. It
   has many more features, that you can interact with, but that needs your own coding.
   
   See [https://www.datatables.net/](https://www.datatables.net/) for more information.

    Tobias
