One way is to assign a classname to each column you want to apply the search. This example is for text inputs but the same idea should work for select inputs.

I found the case:
take a look at "i" variable

     $('#mytable').DataTable( {

    initComplete: function () {
        this.api().columns().every( function (i) {
             (i == 2 || i == 4 || i == 5 || i == 6 )
            var column = this;

            var select = $('<select><option value=""></option></select>')
                .appendTo( $(column.footer()).empty() )
                .on( 'change', function () {
                    var val = $.fn.dataTable.util.escapeRegex(
                        $(this).val()
                    );

                    column
                        .search( val ? '^'+val+'$' : '', true, false )
                        .draw();
                } );

            column.data().unique().sort().each( function ( d, j ) {
                select.append( '<option value="'+d+'">'+d+'</option>' )
            } );
            }
        } );
    }
} );
