Filter doubts

matheusrocha89

I created a table with some sample datas that I created and initialize the dataTable...amazing, everything works GREAT! But I have a doubt, imagine that in one column I have 3 kind of data: VIP, Regular and Trial...Is there some way in the search input I write something like this: "VIP Regular" and the dataTable filter rows of both values? I tried but didn't work cause the dataTable tried to find the column that have both values together.

You would need to use fnFilter with smart filtering disabled if you want to do a simple string match.

I saw in documentation that fnFilter is a function, so i can't initialize the dataTable with the smart filtering disabled and the search input works without the smart filtering? I need to pick the string and call the fnFilter? The parameters are passed one by one, or it's a JSON like the initialize options?

Sure you can - use oSearch if you want to modify the search defaults: http://datatables.net/ref#oSearch .

This is the dev documentation for the search configuration object: http://datatables.net/docs/DataTables/1.9.4/DataTable.models.oSearch.html . You can modify it to alter the default as well as another option..
