Database Examples @ http://datatables.net/examples/api/multi_filter_select.html do not work right

Using the select boxes I chose Position - Software Engineer, Office - London. Of the two records remaining - if Salary is selected to match one of the records - it reports no records found. The other selections work, just seems to be salary.
Is it the thousands separator?

Thanks for pointing that out. It isn't the thousands separator, but rather the $ that is causing the problem. You can also see this on the "Position" column if you select a value with () in it.

I've just committed a change to DataTables to expose its internal ability to escape regular expression special characters in a new utility method $.fn.dataTable.util.escapeRegex(). The example has also been updated to use it.

That method will be included in 1.10.4 which will likely be released next week, but the nightly is up to date now if you want to use it immediately.
