This few line solution seems to work:

private void jTextField1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) 
{                                            
    TableRowSorter sorter = new TableRowSorter(((DefaultTableModel) jTable1.getModel())); 
    sorter.setRowFilter(RowFilter.regexFilter(jTextField1.getText()));

    jTable1.setRowSorter(sorter);
}
