title: How do I search a custom database table (not a wordpress table)?
body: <p>I have a pricing table that I have imported into the schema of my wordpress site and now I want to allow the user to search through the table and view it (but not edit it).</p>
  
  <p><strong>Is there a plugin already</strong> that let's me do this? I found dbtoolkit which is overly complicated and doesn't work in this simple case. I have tried a couple other plugins but they don't seem to work for public users. I want everyone to be able to view and search through the pricing table even if they are not logged in.</p>
  
  <p>I could write my own plugin but I figure why re-invent the wheel if it's already out there.</p>
  
  <p>**<em>Note</em>: this isn't a standard wordpress table and it has nothing to do with wordpress other than the fact that I imported it into the same database schema. However, I want to use wordpress to search and view this table and show it in a standard wordpress format.</p>
