How to clear search in all tables on page

ravenna

I have 2 tables on a page, loaded in tabs. They work great but I have a custom search element and am dropping the search into the Dom using jquery append().

[code]
// APPEND THE SEARCH DIV TO THE DROPDOWN LI
$('div.dataTables_filter').each(function(){
$(this).parent('.dataTables_wrapper').prev('.tableSearch').find('.search-dropdown').append(this);
});
[/code]

The first search clears fine but the second one won't clear.

[code]
// CLEAR SEARCH
$('span.clear-search').click(function(){
$('li.search-dropdown input').val("");
$('a.searchIcon .icon-filter').hide();
$('a.searchIcon .icon-search').show();
oTable.fnFilter("");
});
[/code]

I am instantiating them based on a shared class name .tablesort
