How to disable filtering on specific columns

xyuuki

I want to disable filter on the first and last columns but I am not sure how to do it as I'm new to DataTables.

columns.searchable is used to remove columns from searching.

Do you have any example for my case? I can't really understand the Documentation

You can use columnDefs and set the columnDefs.targets as your column indexes. They start at 0 so the first column is 0. Looks like you have 6 columns, numbered 0-5. You would add to your Datatables initialization config something like this:

  "columnDefs": [
    { "searchable": false, "targets": [0, 5] }  // Disable search on first and last columns
  ]
