Not everything on a small business site is a paragraph. Sometimes you need a straight up grid: a price list, a size chart, a spec sheet, a comparison of three service tiers. Cantrip has a section built exactly for that, called Table. Pick a column count from two to six, type in a header for each one, add rows, done.
Two of the options in that section are worth knowing about before you turn them on: Enable Search and Enable Pagination. Both are real, working features on your published page. Search drops in a text box that filters your rows as someone types, matching against the whole row, not just one column. Pagination breaks a long table into pages with numbered buttons at the bottom, ten rows at a time by default, or twenty five, fifty, up to a hundred if you'd rather. Neither one is decoration. There's real JavaScript running on your live site handling both.
Here's the part that trips people up. Flip on Enable Search in the editor and you get a search box in the preview, sitting right where it'll sit on your real page. Type into it and nothing happens. It's disabled on purpose, a placeholder shape, not a working input. Flip on Enable Pagination instead and the preview shows you even less: no page numbers, no next button, nothing. The table just renders every row it has, same as if pagination were off.
That's not a bug. The editor preview is a lighter version of your page, built to show you layout and content fast without running the same scripts your live site does. Most sections don't need any script at all, so you never notice the difference. Table is one of the few that does, along with the Code section, which has the same honest limitation for a different reason. The preview shows you the shape of the page. It doesn't fully perform until it's live.
So if you check a box and the editor barely reacts, that's expected, not broken. Publish the page, or just open the live URL in a new tab, and search and pagination both work exactly the way you'd want. It's an extra click you shouldn't have to think about, but now you know to take it before assuming something's wrong.
One thing that does work correctly in the editor, and on your phone: a six column table doesn't blow out your layout on a small screen. The table sits inside its own scrollable box, so a wide table just scrolls sideways on its own instead of squeezing every column down to nothing or pushing the rest of your page off to the side. Worth knowing if you're building a spec sheet with a lot of columns, since it means the real tradeoff isn't "will this break on mobile," it's "how far will someone have to swipe to see column six."
None of this is a reason to skip the Table section. It's genuinely one of the more useful ones if you've got real data to show, and both extras are the kind of thing a plugin would charge you for elsewhere. Just don't judge search or pagination by what the editor shows you. Judge it by the live page, same as you should with anything you publish.
