Column filter issue when first word starts with the letter 'A'

tbs

I have noticed that if I have a column of values like so:
Apple A
Apple B
Apple A
Apple B
Apple A
Apple B

and I attempt to filter the column using 'Apple A', none of the Apple B's get sorted out. This issue appears to ONLY happen when the first letter of the first and second word's begin with 'A'. So if your data was as follows:
A A
A B
A A
A B
A A
A B

and you filtered by 'A A' you would still have the 'A B' in the filtered results.

Is this expected?

Issue appears to be due to the columnFilter.js plugin not disabling the smart filter when calling fnFilter. You will see the issue if you try to filter by "Apple A".

I have notified the columnFilter author of this as well.
