Get input text value in JS

sawada91

I have a JS function and I want to get the text inside the search input tag of the DataTable. I have a normal DataTable with a filter textbox, and I only need to get the text whenever a JS function is called. I tried to search everywhere, but I didn't find what I was searching for. How can I do that? Thank you.

search() will give you the text that DataTables is currently using to filter the table (i.e. what is in the global input element).
