How to search for text in server side rendered column?

loopers

Currently using Laravel Yajra as service with server side processing.
This is my columnDefs for one of the columns:

'columnDefs' => [
    [
        'targets' => [3],
        'data' => 'item_id',
        'render' => 'function (data, type, row ) {
                            return data + " " + row.item_name                     
                        }'

Is it possible to bind in the frontend script to search for the rendered data? Or I will not be able to do it?

If serverSide is being used, then all searches (and ordering and pagination) are performed on the backend, not the browser. If you've got less than 10k records, you could probably make do without the server-side processing,
