Custom dependent select and search input in AJAX Datatables

FedericoV

I'd like to have a custom search input form into my AJAX Datatable. Instead performing the search for all Datatables searchable columns, I'd like to place a select beside the Search input field to select which field the research should be performed.
Using the dropable select, the user could select the searchable column to perform the query.
IS it possible in Datatable to achieve this?
Thanks a lot for any hint or suggestions.

you can definitely do column search without the necessity to select a column before. Here the selection is implicit by just using the search field of the respective column.
