Jtable search does not return as expected

Question

I have a bug I don’t understand. The idea is simple, I should type a value in a field and it returns me in the table, this happens, but when I click on the value found in the search it selects me the first value within the table

You did not provide a Minimum, Complete and Verifiable Example, but I suspect the cause is table and model filter index conflict.

When making a filter in a table, you need to convert the filter input to the equivalent of the model’s Dice in order to be able to retrieve the filtered line correctly:

int rowSel = suaTable.getSelectedRow();//pega o indice da linha na tabela
int indexRowModel = suaTable.getRowSorter().convertRowIndexToModel(rowSel);//converte pro indice do model

More information you can read in the links I left related in the question and nestra another answer, or providing a Minimum, Complete and Verifiable Example correctly so that it is possible to analyze the problem better.
