Please provide more details of what you are doing, what you expect and your Datatables initialization code.

My guess is you have server side processing enabled (serverSide: true) and that you have type 6 characters into the search input. This is expected behavior as by default each character will perform a search.

yes thats true that ive enabled server side and yes i've 6 columns too ..how can it be fixed?

tameem07

and if i try (serverSide: false) an error flashes something like this: NoMethodError (undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass):

yes i've 6 columns too

That won't affect the requests sent. In your screenshot above did you type 6 characters?

if i try (serverSide: false) an error flashes something like this: NoMethodError (undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass):

Don't know what that would be. We will need to have a link to you page or a test case to debug that error.

I'm sorry i cant provide a link of my page.
Here is the code that i used to search by pressing enter.

I'm trying to find out what causes so many requests when I simply press enter on a single column

This is how my header looks like

I don't see anything that stands out as an issue with the code. Please use one of the server side processing templates here to replicate the issue:

Is your code snippet executed inside a loop?

My code is not inside a loop.. Well ive tried something which works well and gives 1 request and response as expected .. But now the problem is it works in footer can you please guide me so that it can work in header

Here is an example:

Note the us of orderCellsTop to move the sorting event listeners to the top header row.
