Description of problem:

The options for searchList are not correctly updating when Ajax data is updated.

The test case https://live.datatables.net/dowucoxu/2/ demonstrates this issue.

Action	Category SearchList Expected Result	Category SearchList Actual Result	Status
Initial load - Fragrances are loaded	fragrances	fragrances	✅
Click on the "All" button	beauty, fragrances, furniture, groceries	fragrances	❌
Click on the "Beauty" button	beauty	beauty, fragrances, furniture, groceries	❌
Click on the "Fragrances" button	fragrances	beauty	❌

Observations:
The searchList options are getting updated after the next Ajax call.
As a result, the searchList options show the options for the previous Ajax call.

Hi,

Many thanks for the test case and clear description of the problem! I've committed a fix for the problem - the issue was a timing one for the case when the options aren't provided in the Ajax data. When the list was attempting to get the data for what options to show, it still had the old data in the table. It needs to wait for a draw. It means that in the case of the options being provided in the JSON, that will works, but just a fraction of a second later, which is fine.

This will be in the next release .
