i have already a working searchbuilder. I want to add one more custom filter button name "current year", which when I click on this button filters and shows all rows with Dates with 2025 as their year.

how can I achive this.

thank you.

This page has details on how to create a custom button. Use the column().search() method to set a search for the column in question. Given the format, you could just pass the string for the current year (which you can get from the new Date() object).

First you need to add the buttons library to the CDN includes you have. Open the .js CDN link and use the upgrade URL provided to add the buttons, for example:

* To rebuild or modify this file with the latest versions of the included
 * software please visit:
 *   https://datatables.net/download/#dt/dt-2.1.8/date-1.5.4/sb-1.8.1/sr-1.4.1
 *

For a custom button all you need to add is the Buttons option.

Next update the layout option to display the buttons where you want. See the Buttons initialization docs and this example for more details.
