Filtering, Sorting, and Searching Results
Large Markdown documents can contain hundreds of links. The Markdown Link Checker’s interactive results table includes powerful filtering, sorting, and search capabilities that help you focus on critical issues instantly.
These controls sit above the table and update views in real time without re-running validation.
Status Filtering
Dropdown menus let you show only specific categories: Valid, Broken, Redirected, Skipped, or Ignored. Select Broken to isolate problems immediately, or combine multiple selections for custom views.
Clear filters with a single click when you want the full overview again.
Column Sorting
Click any column header—Text, URL, Line, Status—to sort ascending or descending. Toggle between orders with repeated clicks.
Sorting by Line number groups issues sequentially through your document, ideal for systematic fixes. URL sorting clusters links by domain, revealing patterns like widespread breakage on one host.
Full-Text Search
The search bar matches across link text and URLs simultaneously. Type a domain name to see all references to that host, or enter visible text to locate specific references.
Searches are case-insensitive and partial matches work throughout the string.
Combining Features
Stack controls for precision: filter to Broken, sort by Line, then search for a particular domain to tackle highest-priority issues first.
Or filter Redirected and sort by URL to batch-update links pointing to old locations.
Workflow Examples
During pre-publish reviews, filter Broken and sort by Line to fix issues in reading order. When auditing external dependencies, search for specific domains across all statuses.
Team leads filter Ignored to verify pattern coverage, while writers search for their section headings in anchor links.
Performance Notes
All operations happen instantly in the browser, even with hundreds of entries. No data leaves your device during interaction.
These tools turn raw results into an efficient triage system tailored to your immediate needs.
Mastering the table controls dramatically reduces time spent reviewing and resolving link issues.
From overwhelming lists to targeted action items—the difference is in the details.
Find and fix problems faster with smart table interaction.
