This will search text in all the td s inside each tr and show hide tr s based on search text     each     table tbody   find  tr    function                                                     if    this  text   toLowerCase   replace   s  g      indexOf searchText replace   s  g      toLowerCase       -1                        this  hide                    else                       this  show

I know this is an old post but I thought I could share an alternative  not as robust  but simpler  approach to searching for a string in a table      tr contains needle       where needle is the text you are searching for   For example  if you are searching for the text  box   that would be      tr contains  box        This would return all the elements with this text  Additional criteria could be used to narrow it down if it returns multiple elements
