Custom search in datatables server_processing.php

shafiqkr

I want to provide an interface to a user for advance search where they can search in datatable.

here is what i have tried but it is not working.

var oTable =$('#example111').dataTable( {
"iDisplayLength": 10,
"bProcessing": true,
"bServerSide": true,
"sAjaxSource": "server_processing.php",
"fnRowCallback": function( nRow, aData, iDisplayIndex, iDisplayIndexFull ) {
// Bold the grade for all 'A' grade browsers
if ( aData[0] != 0 )
{
$('td:eq(0)', nRow).html( '' );
}
if ( aData[5] != 0 )
{
// $('td:eq(4)', nRow).html( 'A' ); // You can add your link here!!
$('td:eq(5)', nRow).html( '' );
}
return nRow;
},
"fnServerParams": function ( aoData ) {
aoData.push( { "name": "CompanyName",
"value": "Debenhams" } );


},


"oLanguage": {
"sSearch": "Search all columns:"
}
} );
here is my server_processing.php code

CompanyName is table field and Debenhams is value there exists This search is not working
