I was unable to comment, which seems counterproductive. Ray's answer above also fixed my issue. I had a javascript to hide table rows where a search string does not match the contents of one of the cells.

The example javascript code I used had display = "block" for the rows which remain displayed (display = "none" for the rows to hide).

My search result left only the matching rows displayed, but lost the table formatting, so that all the TDs ran together instead of being formatted in columns. So the table started out with the correct columns, but lost them as soon as the search changed the display property.

Simply changing display = "block" to display = "" fixed it.
