Jquery datatables search not working correctly

markblue777

Hi All,
I am using datatables 1.10.10 and I am getting an issue with the search functionality.

If the column data contains a - it does not allow a search from anywhere with the text it only allows a left to right match.

For example I have

this is - test

I can search for

this is

thi

th ...

and it works ok and returns the record.

If however I try to search:

test

"- test" (minus the quotes just escaping auto formatting)

-

it does not return a match.

Does anyone have any ideas? I have been looking around on the net and cannot see to find anything.

Cheers Mark

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. Turned out to be user error :S. I must have needed more coffee as from what I could tell was that it was working all the time.
Cheers
