how to find keyword 'hello' in this array

Answer 1

Assuming you meant to use an array, you could use array.prototype.filter :

var array=[
    {"job_category":"hello sir","job_location":"hello dear"},
    {"job_category":"dear kumar ","job_location":"sir"},
    {"job_category":"testts ssss ss","job_location":"hello test"}
];

var keyword="hello";

var filteredArray = array.filter(function(item) { 
    return item.job_category.indexOf(keyword) != -1 || 
        item.job_location.indexOf(keyword) != -1;
});

Answer 2

Try this code

var arrays=[
    {"job_category":"hello sir","job_location":"hello dear"},
    {"job_category":"dear kumar ","job_location":"sir"},
    {"job_category":"testts ssss ss","job_location":"hello test"}
];

var keyword="hello";
  var search = new RegExp(keywods, "gi");
    var newarrays= $.grep(arrays, function (item) {
        return (item.job_category.match(search) || item.job_location.match(search))
    }
