It is not possible to filter with both regex and non-regex filters. If you specify a regex on a column for example (fnFilter with regex escape false) and then use a non-regex filter on some other column (fnFilter with regex escape true) then also first filter is applied as a non-regex, what breaks its use.

As a result you could now allow users to do a global regex filter using the DataTables input box by doing:
oTable.fnSettings().oPreviousSearch.bEscapeRegex = false;
(if you wanted to...)
