Searching input field (Filter) in DataTables not work for 1.10

jjiang5

I am using dom: '<"row"<"col-xs-6"i><"col-xs-6"f>>t<"row"<"col-xs-5"l><"col-xs-7"p>>', then try to allows the search abilities of DataTables.
But I type any word in Filter input field, my Ajax will call server side service again to retrieve data. My understanding Filter input field only search the data set returned from server side.
Any advise?
Thanks

If you have serverSide option enabled, ie, serverSide: true then Datatables expects the server script to perform all searching, paging and sorting functions. See the server side processing docs.

Take a look at this FAQ to help determine if you need server side procesing.

I have serverSide option enabled, I do need to call server side service to retrieve data. after I got data, I want to enable searching option (Filter input field) to input multiple words and find the matching rows, this shouldn't call server side service again.

You don't need serverSide enabled just to fetch data via the ajax option. If you want client side searching, etc then turn off serverSide processing.

Thank you Kevin.

When I set serverSide to false, I could get searching option works.
