.filter() is not working or something else need to add.

I am following .filter() example

This is live example

The example seems not working.

Have I missed something? or What more needs to be done?

Thanks.

At the top of the documentation page you linked to, it notes:

This method should not be confused with search() which is used to search for records in the DataTable - i.e. the filter method does not change the rows that are displayed in the DataTable.

You cannot use filter() to effect the display of the table. If you want to use a custom function to search the table you need to use a custom search plug-in.

Hey Allan,

Thanks for your reply, and sorry for misinterpretation.

Though I used following to get it worked.

var table = $('#example').dataTable();

table.fnFilter("London", 2, true);
