Quick search feature

[darknetehf]

Hello,

I already have dozens of sites in several tabs, but I have to make changes from time to time and locating a specific entry is tedious... Also, I usually search by URL and not by title.

I was thinking about using https://datatables.net/, which is very efficient for filtering a table.
The usual approach is to load the whole data, then let the library handle pagination. And you can perform live filtering by typing a few characters in the search bar.

But since CD already has its own paging, live filtering would only work on the data currently loaded.

So we can either:

• load everything and let datatables handle pagination instead
• or implement an Ajax search on datatables - sounds like it can be done
• then the tricky part would be to also filter by tag, based on the currently-active tag, if appropriate

OR:

• we ditch the idea of using datatables, we add a text box and a submit button to issue a POST request

Is there any interest for such a feature?
I can certainly contribute but I am not sure what would be the preferred way, and would be happy to hear from the community.
