Serverside: OR Search not working

hugh_grunt

Hello,

i have a datatable setup serverside, all working great except i can not get OR search working, for instance:
"Word Anotherword"
It will not look for "Word" OR "Anotherword" but for "Word Anotherword".

I have looked at multiple posts but they did not helpe me as it seems to be already be implemented what these posts suggest.

My DataTableInitiation is like this:

new DataTable('#example', { 
    "search":
        {
            "regex" : true,
            smart : false
        },
    ajax: 'php/xxxx.php',
    columns: [      
        { data: 'xxx', "regex":true }
    ],  
    processing: true,
    serverSide: true,
;

I do have a search for every column which calls this:

column.search(input.value, true, false).draw();

The Payload also looks fine to me:
(EDIT: gave column payloard first)

start: 0
length: 10
search[value]: ges kla
search[regex]: true

The php script seems to already have the functionality but i still get 0 results:

if ( count( $globalSearch ) ) {
            $where = '('.implode(' OR ', $globalSearch).')';
        }

        if ( count( $columnSearch ) ) {
            $where = $where === '' ?
                implode(' AND ', $columnSearch) :
                $where .' AND '. implode(' AND ', $columnSearch);
        }

        if ( $where !== '' ) {
            $where = 'WHERE '.$where;
        }

        return $where;

There is only one custom change i made to the sspclass, which is hardcoded the max amount of data output with the max_items variable im passing, but if i understood correctly this should not be the issue as it gets applied after the sql search:

return array(
            "draw"            => isset ( $request['draw'] ) ?
                intval( $request['draw'] ) :
                0,
                "limit" => $limit,
            "recordsTotal"    => intval( $recordsTotal ),
            "recordsFiltered" => intval( $recordsFiltered ),
            "data"            => self::data_output( $columns, $data, $max_items)
        );

I hope youre not annoyed, but all the posts did not help me yet.
Thanks in advance.

The WHERE condition that method builds up will OR over multiple columns for the string given, but it doesn't split the incoming string input different words - see here.

At the moment it will search for "Word Anotherword" being present in any of the columns. It doesn't do a any word, any order, any column search like client-side processing does in DataTables.

That link shows where the code would need to be modified to change that if you want to do so.
