Search (filter) does not work on some columns

xwingz

I have a data table with 11 columns, and the search box does not work with fields in every single column. For example, say I have

| Col | col2 | col3 |
|-----|------|------|
| a1  | b1   | c1   |
| a2  | b2   | c2   |
| a3  | b3   | c3   |

I type "a1" in the search box and that gives me the row with [a1, b1, c1], which is expected. However, if I typed "c1" instead, nothing comes up. In other words, it seems like searching on col3 is completely broken.

What makes this interesting is that this behavior is inconsistent across different browsers. For example, searching col3 would be broken in chrome but would work in firefox. Similarly, searching col2 would work on chrome but not in firefox.

Can anyone shed some light to this issue?

Here is how I am initializing the datatable:

$('#myTable').DataTable({
  scrollY: this._calculateHeight()
});
