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>

</tr>

<tr>

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
