Getting the search box to return a row when data in a child row matches

Getting the search box to return a row when data in a child row matches

I'm heavily intested into child rows:

http://datatables.net/examples/api/row_details.html

However, it occurred to me today that the search box does not include these child rows in its index. Example, if you go to the URL I pasted above, and expand the very first record, you see that Airi Satou's extension is "5407". I'm looking for DataTables to filter down to Airi's record when I search for "5407," but right now, it gives back No matching records found.

How do I accomplish this? What exactly is indexed by the search button? Would I be able to add html5 data attributes to one of the main TDs (not the child row TDs) in order to get this info to come back?
