Tablesearch not displaying correct syntax

helpingtogrow

I'm running Windows 7. The Gamesalad expression builder for Tablesearch
does not present space for a "value" to search for. Even if I enter a value where
it is supposed to go, it doesn't work. Please help.

To the grace of Armelline, he just helped me out on this and this is what it is:

It works with integer and text attributes perfectly.

It works with real as well, but a number 3 in a real format is displayed as 3.000000 , so if you are using "exact" it will not work. If you write "contains" it will work but kind of defeats the purpose of the function. If you write the key as 3.0000000 and "exact", it will work as well.

Thanks @Armelline for this.

@helpingtogrow the tableSearch function is probably the trickiest function because of its many parameters and confusion around them. Without seeing what you've used, it's impossible to know how to fix it. Can you paste the function/expression you tried?
