I look at this example, this allows to search for all columns. How to I searrch for either two columns only? E.g. I want to search Name or Country? Is using api.getSelectedNodes() and filter, the best way to do the search?

I would say the best solution would be to set an empty value for the search value for each of the columns you do not want to search through:
colDef = {
getQuickFilterText: () => ''
}
Take a look at this questions.

I'm using google sheets, and I've been trying to filter data based on if the B value contains any of multiple keywords. I'm trying to sort account data, and the names aren't consistent, so I can't just say =FILTER(C:C,(B:B="BK's Stuff")+(B:B="Book")). I need something that will take information out of a lot of text like a wild card. What works great for a single entry is:
=FILTER(C:C,SEARCH("BK",B:B))
But I can't figure out how to combine it so it will filter all values that contain EITHER "BK" or "Book."
Thanks in advance.
You can do it replacing SEARCH through a combination of REGEXMATCH and ARRAYFORMULA
REGEXMATCH allows you to search for multiple keywords separated by |
Sample:
=FILTER(C:C,REGEXMATCH(B:B,"BK|book")=TRUE)
Note:
Regexp is case sensitive, so you need to specify separately
REGEXMATCH(B:B,"BK|bk|Bk|bK|") etc.
This is for Excel:
You can combine several SEARCH()s as follows:
=FILTER(C1:C20,ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Book",B1:B20,1))+ISNUMBER(SEARCH("BK",B1:B20,1)))
(should be similar for Google Sheets)
I want to filter an index by an exact value of an attribute. I wonder what possibilities Algolia offers for that.
Querying an index always results in a search for substrings, that means a search term abc will always match any object which attribute values contain abc. What I want to achieve is a search for abc that finds only abc as a value of an attribute (in this case I have specific attributes to search in).
One possibility I came up with was tagging, which doesn't seem to be the best way to think of.
Edit
I think I could also use facet filters. I thought about the different pros and cons and can't come up with arguments that places either one position above the other.
You're right with your edit that facet filters would be the way to go on this one. You'll get the exact match you're looking for and won't have to create a new attribute of _tags to use the tag filter.
Is it possible to apply filters/facets automatically based on search term?
For example, If there are two facets called "Category" and "Material" ,and If user searches for the term "plastic water bottles" where bottle is one of the category
(Catergory=bottle) and plastic is one of the material facet(Material = Plastic).
I am looking for the option to enable/force search engine to filter based on category=bottle and material=plastic automatically when it has matching terms in the query.
Please help.
This is not possible. It is possible to trigger oneboxes, keymatches and related queries based on keywords.
Essentially, I am looking for a way to use the "search" function like the "vlookup" function. In my case, I am have a long list, of say, 1000 descriptions of different types of fasteners and I want to classify them according to what they are, (ie. Nut, bolt, washer etc.). However, I can't sort by description or partnumber because they, alphanumerically, don't line up by class. But he descripotion field does say at some point in it, what it is(ie. Nut, bolt, washer etc.).
As said, I have a table of classes, and I am looking for a formula that would look in the "description" field for all the values in the table,and then return that value, or one associated with it (like vlookup does with cell values).
So that, if it found "nut" in the description, it would return "nut", or if it found "bolt" it would return "bolt."
I hope that this question makes sense. Let me also say that I found a way "manually" do this using the search function, along with others, but the formula was very long and each value in my table had to be specially called out. However, I will include the formula I used to make clear what I was trying to do.
See below.
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($G$2,C3)),$G$2,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($G$3,C3)),$G$3,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($G$4,C3)),$G$4,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($G$5,C3)),$G$5,...IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($G$13,C3)),$G$13,"MISC"))))))))))))
You see that with each item you add to your table, you have to add another if loop. I am hoping there is a better way. (I would call it "vsearch" :-) )
Try this formula
=IFERROR(LOOKUP(2^15,SEARCH($G$3:$G$13,C3),$G$3:$G$13),"MISC")
SEARCH returns an array of numbers or errors depending on whether each term is found in C3. By searching for "bignum" (in this case 2^15) which won't be found, the match is always with the last number, i.e. the last matching term in G3:G13.
MATCH can be used to find the text, and INDEX can be used to return the text
using your example, where you are searching in G:
=MATCH("*"&C3&"*",$G:$G,0)
and then index to return the text
=INDEX($G:$G,MATCH("*"&C3&"*",$G:$G,0))
and as a finishing touch, the #VALUE! replacement
=IFERROR(INDEX($G:$G,MATCH("*"&C3&"*",$G:$G,0)),"MISC")
I am trying to search for multiple items in a cell. If any of the terms I am looking for is present, I want cell D to display "Laptop", otherwise, display "Desktop". I can get the following to work, with just one term to search for:
=IFERROR(IF(SEARCH("blah",A2),"Laptop",""),"Desktop")
But I want to search for the presence of blah, blah2, and blah3. I don't know how to get Excel to search for any of the following terms. (Not all of them mind you, just any of the following.
I did see that there is an or option for the logic.
=OR(first condition, second condition, …, etc.)
I am not sure how to get these two to work together. Any thoughts on how to get them to display "Laptop" if any of the words are present?
This should work:
=IF(SUM(COUNTIF(A2,"*" &{"blah1";"blah2";"blah3"}& "*"))>0,"laptop","desktop")
You could use the combination of OR, IFERROR and SEARCH as you suggest, but I think the simpler construct would be ...
=IF(AND(ISERROR(SEARCH("value1",A2)),ISERROR(SEARCH("value2",A2))),"Desktop","Laptop")
