Is there a way to call a backend code when user starts searching in a column?

Sammy1

I have a datatable with search text fields under each column. Wanted to ask if there is a way to call the backend code as user starts to search in a column or combination of columns. I have 28,000 rows and it's taking a while for datatables to load the records. I just want to return 40 records first. Then as the user starts to type in search values in, say column 1, I want to call the backend to return that specific result. Any help with code sample will be appreciated!

Thanks

Hi @Sammy1 ,

If you're serverSide, it will only request/load the records needed for the page being displayed. This makes it fast.

Hope that does the trick,

Cheers,
