Individual column searching, how to remove just one of the search boxes ?

In the Individual column searching (text inputs) example, it shows all columns having a text box to put your criteria into. How do you make it so you can remove some of the search boxes. I don't want them all to show up. Thanks.

You could do something like this...

$('#example tfoot th').each( function () {
        var title = $(this).text();
        if (title == 'Some Title') {
            $(this).html( '<input type="text" placeholder="Search '+title+'" />' );        
        }
} );

Works. Thanks.

I would add a searchable class to each, then only add the input to the columns that contain that class, or do the opposite with a unsearchable class.
