How to switch of DataTable live search?

gviswa

Hello,
I am using DataTable search in one of column that has TextBox. Its working well, but its performing live search. Like, i click search its filtering result, and also when i try to change text in textbox also filters. How to switch off?

NOTE: I am using invalidate() to update text for search

Currently there is no built in option to have the search only on demand, rather than on the fly.
What you could do is create your own search box and call the search method when you want it to perform the search.

Thanks
