I've just bought and installed/set up Table JX, and it's working close to perfect, according to my expectations. I love this extension

But there is one little feature I really want, and I'm not sure if there is a way to obtain it!

I have a table for available car colors based on model year. See example below:

Car	Color	Model year[VISIBLE]	Model year[HIDDEN but searchable]
900	Green	1990-1994	1991 1992 1993 1994
900	Black	1988-1989, 1992	1988 1989 1992
9000	Blue	1996-1997	1996 1997

I'm using the advanced search filters. I want to search for model year in the hidden column, for best functionality. But I want the other "Model year" column to be shown. I've set the hidden column to "unused" but that also makes it unsearchable of course.

I'm sure you understand what I'm thinking of! Is there any way to do this?

If so, could you point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance for any tips!
