I think you left out the display result bit....

$(document).ready(function(){ var array = ["foo","fool","cool","god",'searchstring']; var src_keyword=""; $("#search_str").click(function(){ src_keyword=$("#str_search").val(); result = find(array,src_keyword); console.log(result); }); }); function find(arr,src_keyword1) { var result = []; // alert(src_keyword1); //src_keyword1="oo"; for (var i in arr) { var search = new RegExp(src_keyword1, "gi"); if (arr[i].match(search)) { result.push(arr[i]); } } return result; }

see my post

 if (arr[i].match(search)) { alert(arr[i]); result.push(arr[i]); }

if (arr[i] == search) { alert(arr[i]); result.push(arr[i]); }

try it like this

sri,

As far as I could tell your original code worked, you just didnt output the result. I outputted the result to console on my line 8.
