Link to test case: https://datatables.net/examples/api/multi_filter.html
Debugger code (debug.datatables.net): -
Error messages shown: -
Description of problem: When inserting search value "!" or how many you like it dose not start filtering.
Feels like a bug because it accepts different symbols like ?, <, : and etc. Or is there ignore symbols list somewhere that i have not found.

And how does search work with space? whem im entering "1 2 3 4 5" its filter like "1 or 2 or..." but if i enter "38 33" it filter all out. (Same example- age)

    Ignore the space question - its filtered by the first and all results from that then filtered by the second

    How the default "smart" search works is documented here. If you have any further questions about it, please let me know and I'll try my best to answer.

    To turn off negative filter i need to overwrite default search.
    But why dose negative search not stop with first symbol and then expression
    !Tokyo - works
    !!Tokyo - dose not search at all
    !! - dose nothing. If i would like all rows without "!" symbol

    !! isn't something I'd considered, so the program won't be coping with !! to search for all rows that don't contain an exclamation mark I'm afraid. That is something I'd need to look into (pull requests welcome).
