Search issue

I am using datatable 1.9 .
I am facing problem in searching. My table look something like this

table>
td>
div><span class="inlineEditCategory" >category</span></div>
/td>
/table>

( I have removed table tag symbol '<' as on posting this is shown as HTML content in this page).
So if I search on the word like div, span then all rows are is shown which should not.
I figure out that content between td is being searched. Is their any way to search only the text part.
