Gender filtering Male & Female

maskme

I'm using bottom Text box search using fnFilter, but when I want to search for Male, it displays Female also, since the word Male contains in Female also.

How can i fix this issue? I cannot find any document on this to resolve.

Here is what I did.

Column Data:
(Male)Male
(Female)Female

Then for the filter I used:
{ type: "select", values: ['(Male)', '(Female)'] }

I had to use parentheses around the filters, but no one has complained so far. Most people just read it as Male/Female.

Use a regular expression in your filter: `table.fnFilter( '^Male', 1, true, false );` - to perform a regex filter on column 1. Another option is to disable the case-insenstivity of DataTables.
