# update datatable search

This block is part of the [`state ui`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%20ui) group and was last modified in core [`v13.0.7`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/130007).

Sends a state update to the datatable to search for a specific value.

- flow `flow`

A typical wiring for [update datatable search](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%20ui/state_set_datatable_search): a [function trigger](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/globals/trigger_custom_function) starts the flow; [value](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_default) feeds the `key` pin; [value](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_default) feeds the `searchvalue` pin; the `flow` out pin feeds [debug](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%20ui/state_debug).
