Get search results for terms that are not part of the table

I have an HTML table with a search function that works well. However, my search function only finds the results based on the existing table data. I am trying to show results for terms that aren't in the table. I am able to do this but with limited success.

As an example, if I search for "Apple Banana" (text that is not part of my table), the results are the same as if I searched for "ABC" (text that is part of my table). See my table below for example.

The problem is, I only get results after searching the entire term "Apple Banana". Is there a way to search for "App" or "Ban" (not exact match but contains) and still get the results? If using an object is not the best approach, I am open to any other suggestions. Note that the HTML table is generated automatically by the Content Management System and I am not able to manipulate it. I can update JavaScript or CSS file.

const obj = {
  'Apple Banana':'ABC',
};
function myFunction() {
  let userInput = document.getElementById("myInput").value;
  if(obj[userInput]) userInput = obj[userInput];
  userInput = userInput.toUpperCase();
  const tableRows = document.querySelectorAll("table tr");
  for (let i = 0; i < tableRows.length; i++) {
    const rowTextContent = tableRows[i].innerText.toUpperCase();
    tableRows[i].style.display = rowTextContent.toUpperCase().includes(userInput) ? "" : "none";
  }
}
table.table_brdr td {
  padding: 8px 10px;
  border: none;
}

table.table_brdr th {
  background-color: #a6a6a6;
  color: black;
}

tr:nth-of-type(odd) {
  background-color#D3D3D3;
}

#myInput {
  background-image: url('/css/searchicon.png');
  background-position: 10px 10px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  width: 20%;
  font-size: 16px;
  padding: 12px 20px 12px 40px;
  border: 1px solid #ddd;
  margin-bottom: 12px;
}
<p><input type="text" id="myInput" onkeyup="myFunction()" placeholder="Search forms list" title="Search forms list"></p>
<table class="table_brdr" id="myTable">
<tr>
<th>Column1</th>
<th><strong>Column2</th>
<th>Column3</th>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>abc</td>
<td>xyz</td>
<td>03/30/2017</td>
</tr>

<tr>

<td>https://www.yahoo.com/ </td>

</tr>
  
<tr>

</tr>

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
