jquery instant search based on keywords -

this plugin uses regular expression sort content, in real-time, based on search input. right script searching type.

here code:

$.fn.simplecontentsearch = function ( options ) {  var settings = {     'active'    : 'active',     'normal'    : 'normal',     'searchlist' : 'searchable tr',     'searchitem' : 'td',     'effect' : 'none' // fade, none };  var base = this; var options = $.extend(settings, options);  function startsearching(query) {     $( '.' + settings.searchlist ).each(function ()      {         $(this).children( settings.searchitem ).each(function ()          {             var elem = $(this);              if (!elem.html().match(new regexp('.*?' + query + '.*?', 'i'))) {                  if( settings.effect == 'fade' ){                     $(this).parent( '.' + settings.searchlist ).fadeout();                 } else {                     $(this).parent( '.' + settings.searchlist ).hide();                 }              } else {                  if( settings.effect == 'fade' ){                     $(this).parent( '.' + settings.searchlist ).fadein();                 } else {                     $(this).parent( '.' + settings.searchlist ).show();                 }                  return false;             }              return;         });     }); }  return this.each(function() {          // on blur     base.blur(function ()      {         var elem = base;         elem.removeclass().addclass(options.normal);     });      // on focus     base.focus(function ()      {         var elem = base;         elem.removeclass().addclass(options.active);     });      //keyup     base.keyup(function ()      {         startsearching(base.val());     });      return this;  });
