Adding filtering function to a column

Adding filtering function to a column

I have a table which have information which I would like to exclude from the search box. For example, in one of the columns I have some text and then links, it looks like that:
[code]

John Doe

View |
Edit |
Delete


[/code]
Of-course in this case I would like the search box to consider only "John Doe" as a text to be searched.

I draw my table in php (I use Symfony-2) and apply the DataTable plugin using dataTable function with jQuery. I got the impression that what I want is possible, but couldn't manage to achieve it. Other discussions like http://www.datatables.net/forums/discussion/255/customising-the-way-the-filter-works/p1 neither helped me to solve this problem.

Thanks!
