Search in multiple columns with the searchbox

Hi,

I use Datatables 1.10.6 and server-side-processing.
If I want to search in multiple columns with spaces, e.g. SearchColumn1 SearchColumn2, it doesn't work.
How can i fix this?

Thanks, Schmakus

    With server-side processing you need to break the string apart and then perform something analogous to DataTables' client-side smart filtering. The demo server-side scripts don't do that as it can be a real performance hit on the SQL server.

    Hi Allan,

    could you give me an example? I do not understand you correctly.

    Have a look at the example code here and more generally have a read through that whole thread as it discusses what is required and what the presented solution is.

    Thank you Allan!
    I changed to "Client-Side". I think, it's easier for me.
