Search column with combined string

Newcoma

Hello

i have a column where each row has either 'passed', 'failed' or 'ignored' as text . i want to do a filter search so only 'failed' and 'ignored' are visible. But I can't combine a search string within the same column. 'failed ignored' gives 0 results.

Any suggestions?

Are you using the default search functionality, or are you writing a fnFilter yourself? I am able to type in 2 phrases in the search box and only rows matching both phrases (in one column, coincidentally) are shown.

You can try something like:

[code]
var columnNumberToFilter = 3; //or whatever...
oTable.fnFilter( "(failed)|(ignored)", columnNumberToFilter, true );
[/code]
