Clearing search filter

cce1911

I have 2 datatables on the same page. I have created a filter that hides rows from table 1 as they are added to table 2.

$.fn.dataTable.ext.search.push(
                function(settings, data, dataIndex) {
                    // if multiple tables are on the same page find the correct table
                    if(settings.sTableId != "shooters_table"){
                        return true;
                    } else {
                        // rowId is set during init. Must add # for the selector
                        var rid = '#'+ shootersTable.row(dataIndex).node().id;

                        if(matchShooterList.indexOf(rid) == -1 ){
                            return true;
                        } else {
                            return false;
                        }
                    }
                }
            );
            shootersTable.draw();

Now I want to reset table 1 so I can see the all of the original rows. I created a button to do that, but the following code in the click event doesn't work.

shootersTable
                .search( '' )
                .columns().search( '' )
                .draw();

I still get the filtered table. What am I missing here?

I finally found a solution that is detailed in this thread: https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/28347/remove-custom-filtering-after-use-fn-datatable-ext-search-push
