How to get search input or whatever element in the table?

Camo

I need to change some definitions on elements in the table. But I am not able to get it.
I find this code somewhere

    "initComplete": function () {
        var api = this.api();
        api.$('.dataTables_filter input').addClass('form-control');
        console.log(api.$('.dataTables_filter'));           }

Console shows empty result for the selector. Thanks.

You are using [jQuery addClass()](https://api.jquery.com/addclass/) chained from an instance of the Datatables API which won't work. Try removing theapi.` for just this:

$('.dataTables_filter input').addClass('form-control');
