Search with multiples

mituller

I am trying to setup a table where I can filter by checkboxes and need some help. I have looked around, and found the fnFilter, which doesn't seem to be available anymore. And then found this thread. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38232383/search-for-multiple-values-in-single-column-of-datatable-possibly-use-array

Where they pipe into search. I tried that, and I can only search by one item. So this works:
$('.display').DataTable().search('dhcp').draw();

But this doesn't:
$('.display').DataTable().search('dhcp'|'static').draw();

I would like to pass an array of items so that I can add and remove based on if the checkbox for the filter is checked or not. Any pointers as to how to go about this would be helpful.

The search() docs show how you can enable it to do a regex search - for example:

$('.display').DataTable().search('dhcp|static', true, false).draw();
