search.fields Array

Defines a list of fields which will be included in the search. If values for the property are not defined the treelist will search in all column fields.

Example - specify which fields will be included in the search

<div id="treeList"></div>
<script>
  $("#treeList").kendoTreeList({
    columns: [
      { field: "name" },
      { field: "age" }
    ],
    toolbar:["search"],
    search: {
      fields: ["name"] // Or, specify multiple fields by adding them to the array, e.g ["name", "age"]
    },
    dataSource: [
      { id: 1, parentId: null, name: "Jane Doe", age: 22 },
      { id: 2, parentId: 1, name: "John Doe", age: 24 },
      { id: 3, parentId: 1, name: "Jenny Doe", age: 3 }
    ]
  });
</script>
