Show divs based on text search

Question

I have a text input search that is supposed to filter divs based on the title of the div. Here is the code that is not working:

$(\'.contact-name\').each(fun         


        

Answer 1

Luckily jQuery has a Contains selector:

$('.contact-name').each(function(){
  var txt = $('#search-criteria').val();
  $(this).find('div:contains("'+txt+'")').show()      
});
