When I enter text into the filter box and click the “Filter List” button, the document libraries don’t react. The full list of documents stays visible whether the text metadata matches the criteria I entered or not. However, a list on the same webpart page will filter to dispay only items that contian the criteria.

What do you mean by it does not work? What is or is not happening?

Hi Peter,

I downloaded version 2.2 from bitsofsharepoint.com. It works wonderfully on lists, but I can’t get it to work on document libraries. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks!

That is a good feature request. When I have time I will look at incorporating it. For now you can comment out or just take out the table row for option in the code. This can be found at the bottom of the code. This should only be done if your list is not grouped.

Option:
(Click to Filter All Grouped Items) (Click to Reset and Collapse List)

Peter,
Is there a way to not show the expand\collapse options at all? Is it as simple as commenting out some code?
Thanks for this solution. It is a huge benefit

This worked great, thanks for all your help. Great instructions, I was able to follow easily and I’m a novice with Sharepoint Designer.

Rene,

This is a limitation of the jQuery solution, so it ONLY searches what is viewable. If you are looking for a solution that can search the metadata on all 1500 documents then you will need to use this solution:

Hope this helps.

This is a great tool, I just can’t get it to work right!

I have a document library with over 1500 documents and it only finds the items which are in view. I do have two groupings enabled on the view. I downloaded the latest version 2.1 and it does not find items that are not in the view. Please help!
