The 'Search' input length limit

Viktoria

Hello,
I'm using datatable's filtering:

var table = $("#myTable").DataTable({
                ajax: {
                  ...
                },
                columns: [...
                ],
               ...
               filter: true,            
               ...             
            });

I would like to ask is there a length limit of the 'Search' input field?
Is it possible to set such a limit?
Thank you in advance for your help.

There is not one but you can add one easy enough with your preinit hanlder

$(document).ready( function () {

  $(document).on("preInit.dt", function(){
    $(".dataTables_filter input[type='search']").attr("maxlength", 5);
  
  });
  
  var table = $('#example').DataTable();
} );
