Can you turn off keypress/keyup event on setting the defaults of a datatable filter?

CCoreil

I have been trying to find out if, when setting the defaults for a DataTable, there was a way to prevent the filter having the events that cause the filter/search bar to query on keypress/keyup/input(these are the events I would want to prevent from being set). Any help is appreciated.

This example shows how to create your own event for the global search input.

Notice the use of .off() to turn off the default event handlers then .on() to create your own event handler.
