Hi, 
I have a database that I display on my site. I have the form above the view which i use to filter the results. Is there a way to filter results without the webpage needing to refresh? 
Thanks!

Database? What database? Formidable doesn't create databases to display data. You have a search form and view and want to filter the view with search form with refreshing the page. Even if you were to load every single form entry, you would still have to refresh the view. Filtering takes place on the server, not in the browser.

You may be able to switch things up and use datatables instead. The datatables search works differently with jQuery.
