How to get row nodes with table.search(value) method?

sikariba

I want to change the background color of match rows like this:

I've found many examples here but almost of them are:

myDataTable.columns([1]).search('Engineer').draw()

I don't want to hide mismatched row but only highlight matched row, something like this:

myDataTable.columns([1]).search('Engineer').nodes().to$().addClass('highlight')

But it seems search method doesn't return the matched row element.
Anybody could help me? Thanks.

Hi @sikariba ,

I did something similar recently - take a look at this example from this forum chat.

Hope that helps,

Cheers,
