    <p>I have a JTable populated with data from a database. I have added a search function that highlights a cell when the data is typed into a JTextField. But at the minute you have to type in the exact word or number, what I want to do is be able to search for just a few letters or numbers, and the JTable will show the results containing those letters or numbers.</p> <p>I have tried to use:</p> <pre><code>button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { String text = jTextField1.getText(); if (text.length() == 0) { sorter.setRowFilter(null); } else { sorter.setRowFilter(RowFilter.regexFilter(text)); } } }); </code></pre> <p>But it does seem to affect the JTable.</p> <p>So I have used this piece of code:</p> <pre><code>private class HighlightRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer { @Override public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) { // everything as usual super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column); // added behavior if(row == table.getSelectedRow()) { // this will customize that kind of border that will be use to highlight a row setBorder(BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(1, 1, 1, 1, Color.BLACK)); } return this; } } private void searchResultsActionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) { String value = jTextField1.getText(); for (int row = 0; row &lt;= table.getRowCount() - 1; row++) { for (int col = 0; col &lt;= table.getColumnCount() - 1; col++) { if (value.equals(table.getValueAt(row, col))) { // this will automatically set the view of the scroll in the location of the value table.scrollRectToVisible(table.getCellRect(row, 0, true)); // this will automatically set the focus of the searched/selected row/value table.setRowSelectionInterval(row, row); for (int i = 0; i &lt;= table.getColumnCount() - 1; i++) { table.getColumnModel().getColumn(i).setCellRenderer(new HighlightRenderer()); } } } } } </code></pre> <p>Which works using the data typed into the JTextField, but like I mentioned earlier you have to type in the exact name or number. Which is not how I want it to work.</p> <p>Any help is appreciated.</p>

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
