I wanted to create some sort of FAQ page using a nested accordion but it somewhat didn’t work. I wanted to search through the title and the body of each card. So far I can only search through the title and it‘s still not hiding the irrelevant results.

When I search “nostro three”, nothing shows up. Only when I type “what to do”, the first parent accordion disappears.

I wanted to search all the content and hide the irrelevant information not related to the search result.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#searchfaq").on("keypress click input", function() {
    var val = $(this).val();

    if (val.length) {
      $(".accordion .card").hide().filter(function() {
        return $('.card-title', this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(val.toLowerCase()) > -1;
      }).show();
    } else {
      $(".accordion .card").show();
    }
  });
});

adding this line of code inside the in: if(val.length)

$(".accordion .card .child-card").hide().filter(function () {
            return $('.card-title', this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(val.toLowerCase()) > -1 || $('.card-body', this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(val.toLowerCase()) > -1;
}).show();

and this inside else:

$(".accordion .card .child-card").show;

and wrapping the child accordion with another div

<div class="child-card">
 <h6 class="card-title card-inside">
  <a data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse-1-2-4">Where to do?</a>
 </h6>
 <div id="collapse-1-2-4" class="collapse" data-parent="#accordion-1-2">
  <div class="card-body" style="padding-left: 30px">
  nostro apeirian cu est four.
 </div>
</div>

(Edit)

I’ve created some code that works as an accordion, allowing a user to open up accordions (and nested accordions).

Search functionality is also demonstrated, with automatically opening any accordions where the term is found, and their parents.

The code is fully commented, but let me know if it isn’t clear.

Thanks to SLaks for the function to find the element’s text without its childrens’ text (link).

Demonstration

// Add click event to all .accordian-title
$(".accordian-title").click(function() {

  // Check if this is already active
  wasActive = $(this).closest(".accordian-element").hasClass("active");

  // Remove all the .active siblings
  $(this).closest(".accordian-wrapper").find(".accordian-element.active").removeClass("active");

  // Activate the clicked .accordian-element if it wasn't active
  if (wasActive != true) {
    $(this).closest(".accordian-element").toggleClass("active");
  }

});


// Launch search code after any change to input
$("#search").on('change keydown paste input', function() {

  // Remove search term matching
  $(".accordian-wrapper .found-term").removeClass("found-term");

  // Remove all active classes 
  $(".accordian-wrapper .accordian-element.active").removeClass("active");

  // Get search term
  searchTerm = $(this).val().toUpperCase();

  // Quit if search term is empty
  // IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO ADD A MINIMUM 3 CHARACTERS OR SIMILAR
  if (searchTerm == "") {
    $(".accordian-wrapper").removeClass("searched");
    return;
  }

  $(".accordian-wrapper").addClass("searched");

  // Check anything within an accordian against the term
  $(".accordian-wrapper *").each(function() {

    // Get text only of this element (not children)
    tempText = $(this).immediateText().toUpperCase();

    // Check if search term is present in element
    if (tempText.indexOf(searchTerm) >= 0) {

      // Add found-term to highlight the element with the search text
      $(this).addClass("found-term");

      // Activate all parent accordians to that it is visible
      $(this).parents(".accordian-element").addClass("active");

    }

  });

});


// Get text of given element, but not it's children
// Taken from : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3442394/using-text-to-retrieve-only-text-not-nested-in-child-tags#answer-32170000
$.fn.immediateText = function() {
  return this.contents().not(this.children()).text();
};

/* Styling to hide and show content on click */

.accordian-content {
  display: none;
}

.accordian-element.active>.accordian-content {
  display: inherit;
}

.accordian-title {
  cursor: pointer;
}


/* Styling for searching content and highlighting it */

.accordian-wrapper.searched .accordian-element {
  display: none;
}

.accordian-wrapper.searched .accordian-element.active {
  display: inherit;
}

.found-term {
  color: red;
}


/* Just some general styling to make it look nice */

.accordian-wrapper {
  border-left: 5px solid grey;
  border-top: 1px dashed grey;
}

.accordian-element {
  padding: 10px 0px 10px 20px;
  border-bottom: 1px dashed grey;
}
