trim text in search input

m75sa

Hi,
i saw this post:
https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/47868/trim-searchtext-in-jquery-datatables-using-default-searchbox

but i don't know if this works in my case... anyway i cannot find a solution.
What i need is to trim the search input in order to have results also when i have space.

Any help on this?

Why does that solution not work? The solution takes over the keyup event handler and use trim() to trim the search input. Here is a quick demo with the code in the thread you linked:

You can see in the console output that the search input is trimmed.

Please provide a link to a test case showing what you are trying to do so we can offer suggestions.
