no way to skip hiding rows

[nmz787]

I tried ignoreClass but the tr or td I have the associated class applied to are still hidden. This seems like an alternate meaning of "ignoring filtering", I also understand your original reasoning for it now (to skip finding a row/cell). Maybe there could be another option specifically to skip hiding, rather than skip finding?

Here's my quick patch, sorry for the code duplication of the actually showing:
