I have a table built with ng-repeat this way:

  <tr ng-repeat="book in books | filter:searchText | orderBy: 'title'">
    <td>{{book.author}}</td>
    <td>{{book.title}}</td>
    <td>{{book.editor}}</td>
  </tr>

And books is an object which has more properties than the ones shown in the table. The research is simply implemented this way: 

<label>Search: <input ng-model="searchText"/></label>

Now, what I need to do is apply the search filter ONLY to those data fields which are shown in the table. For example: let's suppose my data source books has these fields: title, author, editor, year, isbn, description. As it is now, if I type some words in the search input, the results are filtered considering ALL those fields, so I could visualize also some books containing that word in their description, resulting in some unclear search (the user has searched a word but can not see it in the results).

How can I apply the research only to the shown fields (I don't want to delete the unshown fields because I need them for other functions)?

  • It looks like the answers on these questions are about filtering with an `AND` query (meaning if I search "a", it will filter for results that have an "a" on each field). What I need to do is filtering with an `OR` query (the results have an "a" in their title, author or editor, or two or three of them). – prtnkl Mar 02 '16 at 14:11
