How do I get the search/filter to work per column?

I am making small steps in building, and constantly adding to my data table, which is pretty dynamic at this stage. I have now added the footer to act as a search/filter, but unfortunately this is where I have become stuck. I cannot get the filer part to work. Advice greatly appreciated.

here is my sample data tables that I am working on http://live.datatables.net/qociwesi/2/edit

It basically has dTableControl object that builds by table.

To build my table I need to call loadDataFromSocket which does the following:

//then I have this function for loading my data and creating my tables 
//file is an array of objects 
//formatFunc is a function that formats the data in the data table, and is stored in options for passing to the dTableControl for formatting the datatable - not using this in this example
//ch gets the keys from file[0] which will be the channel headers 
//then I add the headers 
//then I add the footers 
//then I create the table 
//then i build the rows using the correct values from file
//then I draw and this then draws all the row that were built 
//now the tricky part of applying the search to each columns

So i have got this far but the search per column is not working. How do I get the search/filter to wrok per column?

Note
this is a very basic working example that I have been working off: http://jsfiddle.net/HattrickNZ/t12w3a65/

I use the YADCF plugin, its a 3rd party plugin created by @daniel_r, works great though
