I have a CSV file (that I sell), and as a marketing feature, I want to provide free limited access to data and let users search if their name is in the file without letting them download the whole file.

Is there a plugin that does just that?
 
It works!
but it also shows all the data available
is there a way to hide all the data and only show the record searched? and if it's not there return nothing?
If you know about programming you Can re-program the php file you want to change
 
You are playing with fire lol. Why not just have a different file with limited rows as sample? That is straightforward and you won’t need a plugin.

Edit: But that would not be searchable. For making it searchable you will need some custom code for sure.

I am using an outdated file, the real one is updated in real-time each minute.
The problem is that outdated file still gives a pretty good picture.
I am not trying to protect it 100% - that won't be possible. Also, someone can buy it and share it, just trying to make not make it too easy or obvious.

A csv’s structure is very simple. The rows are separated by a newline. With a very few lines of code, you could show only n lines from the top of the file, instead of showing the whole file. Your code just needs to split the file’s content with \n and show the first n records of the splitted array.

If you can’t do it, hire someone may be. It’s a basic task that any experienced programmer should be able to do.
 
For this case you can use WPDataTables or Graphina . hope so it will serve your purpose

I think wpdatatables is suitable for you

just try it, thanks.

It works just fine but displays the whole database, so I had to deac tivate it.
I need something like hunter. io uses - it only shows a few lines you are looking for the rest is hidden.
