Twitter Bootstrap Row Filter / Search Box - html

Question

I'm having trouble finding a tutorial on how to create a simple search query, or row filter, for Twitter Bootstrap. I've tried many, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or the plugins are not compatible with Bootstrap. Please help if you can.
I've tried:
$(document).ready(function() {
//Declare the custom selector 'containsIgnoreCase'.
$.expr[':'].containsIgnoreCase = function(n,i,m){
return jQuery(n).text().toUpperCase().indexOf(m[3].toUpperCase())>=0;
};
$("#search").keyup(function(){
$("#tabela").find("tr").hide();
var data = this.value.split(" ");
var jo = $("#tabela").find("tr");
$.each(data, function(i, v){
//Use the new containsIgnoreCase function instead
jo = jo.filter("*:containsIgnoreCase('"+v+"')");
});
jo.show();
}).focus(function(){
this.value="";
$(this).css({"color":"black"});
$(this).unbind('focus');
}).css({"color":"#C0C0C0"});
});
Nothing with this... Maybe I'm missing any "id" on my table or search box, I'm new with this.

Here's what I use:
$('input.filter').live('keyup', function() {
var rex = new RegExp($(this).val(), 'i');
$('.searchable tr').hide();
$('.searchable tr').filter(function() {
return rex.test($(this).text());
}).show();
});
To use it, you just create a table, with a tbody with the class "searchable" and then an input with class "filter" somewhere on your page (I prefer to put them in a Bootstrap Popup behind a search icon).

This is live example of solution provided by Filipp Lepalaan. Many thanks for this small and perfect code.
Example
$(document).ready(function () {
(function ($) {
$('#filter').keyup(function () {
var rex = new RegExp($(this).val(), 'i');
$('.searchable tr').hide();
$('.searchable tr').filter(function () {
return rex.test($(this).text());
}).show();
})
}(jQuery));
});
