how to custom define the search field name

ihuangmx

Hi, I got a problem, I defined a field 'good_id' like this

{
            data: 'good_id',
            searchable: false,
            render: function(data, type, row, meta){
                if(row.good){
                    return row.good.name;
                }
                return '';
            }
        },  

but when I search , I want to search the field 'good.name' not 'good_id', so how should I do ?

Hi ihuangmx,

Take a look at this example - here there's a different data source being used for the display and the filter.

For you, you could change the render on line 4 so that you do what you're currently doing for the display, then add a second function for the filter.

Hope that helps,

Cheers,

Colin
