search customization, input tag inside of td's

drenato

my question is about next example:

https://datatables.net/examples/api/form.html

in the above example if you search for "Accountant" there is no result (the first row contains that query).

I have the same problem, i have a existing html table with input fields inside the td tags and want to transform it in a datatable so i could get search and sorting features.

is there a way to transform cell or row data before searching is performed by the datatable API?, that way i could specify to get the text inside the input tag.

thanks

You will need to use cell().invalidate(). This is an example:
