SearchPanes
SearchPanes adds panels to a DataTable with the capability to search the DataTable by selecting rows in the panes. This is very useful when it comes to adding a more accessible searching feature and custom search capabilities.
SearchPanes can search DataTables for multiple values that have been selected across multiple panes. It also provides the ability to define custom search functions which cannot be achieved through a simple search box.
Features
SearchPanes provides the following features to enhance a DataTable:
- Intuitive search panels
- Combination search across multiple panes
- Custom search functions as options
- Automatic, adjustable, data selection
- State saving and integration with StateRestore
- Cascading panes
- Subtotal views
As with all DataTables extensions it can of course have all language strings localised, has complete documentation, and has styling integration with all of the DataTables supported styling libraries (e.g. Bootstrap, Bulma, Fomantic UI and others).

Specifically, you will be able to see that three panels have been added above the DataTable which provide a list of the data in the columns that can be searched via SearchPanes (this column selection is automatic based on the data "uniqueness" and can be adjusted with searchPanes.threshold). Multiple data points can be filtered to byt using ctrl-click or shift-click to select a range.
