 * Please could you let me know if it is possible to save the short code with a 
   pre-determined search?
 * For instance: [wpdatatable id=2 ?wdt_search=shoe]
 * It doesn’t seem to work this way. It just shows the table without the search 
   results. Maybe I need to upgrade to the paid version.

 * Hello,
   Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize for the delayed response 
   as we have been experiencing an unusually high number of tickets. I am sorry 
   that it has taken longer than usual to respond to your concern and your patience
   is highly appreciated.
 * 1. When it comes to passing a filter through table shortcode – that is not possible
   with our Lite/free Plugin version, because it does not include any advanced column
   filtering options.
   If you wish to pass a filter value for tables via shortcode,
   you would have to switch to using our premium Plugin features.You can check out
   our advanced column filtering [documentation here](https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/table-features/advanced-filtering/),
   and if you wish to learn more details about use-cases/guides how you can pre-
   filter premium tables, please open a ticket on our [main Support platform here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-extension/../../?output_format=md)
   and one of our Agents will respond as quickly as possible.
 * If you don’t have a licence (or if it expired), please open a [pre-purchase ticket](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/short-code-extension/../../submit/?output_format=md#100010481)
   which doesn’t require a purchase code.
 * Premium products are not supported in these forums, as per [this comment](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-not-logged-into-wordpress-backend/#post-15050671)
   by WordPress.org moderators.
 * 2. If you wish to try a table search via the URL, please check out this Feature:
   [Pre-filtering tables through URL.](https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/table-features/global-search-via-url/)
   
   With this feature, you will be able to make a predefined ‘global table search’
   via URL parameter- but you still won’t be able to do any column filtering with
   the Lite Plugin version.We hope that helps, let us know if you have any additional
   questions about the Lite version;For any premium options questions, you can ask
   our main Support as proposed above.Thank you.
