  In case you want "cumulative filtering" you can try using my yadcf plugin for datatables, see relevant example:

  See also here which is the same as this example but it updates the options.

  Also worth trying out Daniel's YADCF which is excellent.

  @allan, how can I do this on only 2 columns? I have a similar function on the drop down list, only I create 2 filters vs filters on all the columns:

  For example:

  function columns() {
      //Drop down filter for column 3
      table.columns([3]).every( function () {
          
      } );
  
      //Drop down filter for column 4
      table.columns([4]).every( function () {
          
      } );
  }
  

  Everything in your function I do is the same other than passing a column.

  @markMathews1989 , The columns() API can use a column-selector to choose which columns to act on. There are lots of options but you could use and array table.columns([3, 4]) or a class, etc.
