Hi @Jordano95,

That's close - take a look at this page here. For you, this should do the trick:

"data": function ( d ) {
  d.mySearch = value;
}

Cheers,

thanks @colin for the answer but how can i include it in my code?
sorry but i'm new with javascript and ajax

You currently have

data:{ 'value': value},

so just replace that with

"data": function ( d ) {
  d.mySearch = value;
}

Then your server script can access the mySearch value.

Cheers,

Colin
