after testing your modul the import of a table works fine for me, but I stuck in using the search function on table values. Even after rebuilding the search index, there was no result displayed? Have I done anything wrong or is this function missing?

Exactly how would you see such a function working? Would you expect all text columns in the table to be searchable automatically, or some way to choose columns to be indexed for search?

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply,

just thinking of my table, which consists of zip-code, town-name, region and an election-code, I need to search in textfields and in fields with numbers.

So the best would be to search in all fields. But to make it more comfortable, exclude some rows, that can be selectet in a menue.

If an exclude function exist, many cases will be solved. to display the result as a select of all columns that are "allowed" to be searched will help in many ways.

May there is a way to offer the search result to views, than you are able to "design" the result. I hope this will help to find a solution.

When a search finds a matching node, you click on the title and have the node displayed - exactly what are you expecting to happen when clicking on a search result from a table? What would that page look like?

If I find a matching row or more exact a matching filed, I like to see the node that fit to the row.

In my case if a find a zip code, I like the fields of the hole row to be displayed.
