get datatable api of a table after it has been initialized using Id

DolanTheMFMSWizard

Is it possible to get the datatable api for a datatable after it has been initialized? So for example I have a table inside a row and it's generated like so

table = $(row.child()).DataTable();

And let's say I want to search through the table and child data tables for a inputted word. So I need to call it later by doing

row.child() and get the api from that.

See my second post in this thread for an example of searching child rows:
