Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/41

I'd like to be able to filter the index table by typing text in a Filter... text field. Eg. when typing github in the filtering field, only display items containing github in their title (or URL?)

Consider actually starting the filtering after the 2nd or 3rd character has been entered (to improve performance, plus filtering on a single character does not make much sense). Alternatively, only filter after the user hits Enter or a similar Go button.
Consider adding a clear button to clear the current filter text.

This would probably require a bit of Javascript. I found a rather efficient filtering script https://github.com/nodiscc/awesome-selfhosted/blob/yaml/html/filtering.js which I was planning to use for another project but it might as well serve here.

Note: This is different from full text search (probably easier to achieve) and only relates to the main index.html archive index

I think once full-text search is added, this isn't needed. With full-text search and Ctrl+F covering full-text & titles search, I don't think we need a third search option. But thanks for the suggestion!

Sometime I'd like to only see the items relevant to a particular search. Ctrl+F is nice but doesn't do what I need. Anyway thanks for replying
