<h2>Filterable Table</h2>
<p>Type something in the input field to search the table for first names, last names or emails:</p>
<input id="myInput" type="text" placeholder="Search..">
<br><br>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
<th>Email</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="myTable">
<tr>
<td>John</td>
<td>Doe</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Mary</td>
<td>Moe</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>July</td>
<td>Dooley</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Anja</td>
<td>Ravendale</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Note that we start the search in tbody, to prevent filtering the table headers.</p>

in above code i can't understand, because the filter() function is filled by a argument which is not like as spacified in the documentation of filter() so can anyone explain me this ?
