In the messageTop function return search() without any parameters. This should provide the global search value.

dom: 'Bfrtip',
buttons: [
{
extend: 'pdfHtml5',
messageTop:function () {
var dateNow = new Date();
return dateNow.toLocaleString();
},
orientation: 'landscape',
pageSize: 'A4',

        },

I don't see the search() method being called in your messageTop function. Could you provide a link to a page showing the issue please.

Have you tried this?

                messageTop: function () {
                   return 'Search: ' + table.search();
                },

Where table is your Datatables API variable.

function () {
var table = $('#example').DataTable();
return 'Search: ' + table.search();
},
