• There are two lines that are important and they each have a comment near the end. Basically we are creating a new field in each TableViewRow called filter and this field has the text we are searching. In this example I just put the text from your label in it but you can add more text by saying something like data.filter = field1 + ' ' + field2 + ' ' + field3 and then the search would look at those three fields. The other change is you tell the TableView the field that has the text to be searched.

          for (var c=0;c<=8;c++)
          {
              var episodes_row = Ti.UI.createTableViewRow({height:'auto', hasChild:true});
  
              var latest_episodeimg = Ti.UI.createImageView({
                  image:'../images/latest.png',
                  left:47,
                  bottom:2,
                  width:'auto',
                  height:'auto'
              });
  
              var homeepisode_thumbnail = Ti.UI.createImageView({
                  image:image,
                  left:5,
                  width:60,
                  height:34
              });
              var homeepisode_title = Ti.UI.createLabel({
                  text:jsoneps[c].title,
                  color:'#420404',
                  shadowColor:'#FFFFE6',
                  shadowOffset:{x:0,y:1},
                  textAlign:'left',
                  top:5,
                  left:70,
                  width:'auto',
                  height:'auto',
                  font:{fontWeight:'bold',fontSize:18}
              });
  
                  episodes_row.add(homeepisode_title);
                  episodes_row.add(homeepisode_thumbnail);
              if (c == 0)
              {
                  episodes_row.add(latest_episodeimg);
              }
  
              episodes_row.filter = jsoneps[c].title;  // <-- This is what is going to be searched by the SearchBar
  
              data[c]=episodes_row;
          }
  
          var searchbar = Ti.UI.createSearchBar({ 
              hintText:'Search Episodes...',
              barColor:'#000',
              showCancel:false,
          });
  
          searchbar.addEventListener('change', function(e)
          {
              return e.value;
          });
          searchbar.addEventListener('return', function(e)
          {
              searchbar.blur();
          });
          searchbar.addEventListener('cancel', function(e)
          {
              searchbar.blur();
          });
  
          var tableview = Titanium.UI.createTableView({
              data:data,
              search:searchbar,
              searchHidden:false,
              footerView:footerView,
              maxRowHeight:100
          });
  

  When you create your TableView do something like this

  var tableView = Ti.UI.createTableView({
      data: data,
      search: search,
      filterAttribute: 'filter',  // <-- This is the name of the field we created above that has the text we want to search
      backgroundColor: 'white'
  });
  

• Bump! This is quite urgent!

• See if this post helps.

• I don't fully understand that… How about I just post my code and you (Someone?) looks at it?
