Test case: http://live.datatables.net/nefewovi/1/edit
Here you can see that writing "tiger" in the search box, replaces that search term with the word "sonya" instead, bringing up the results of sonya immediately. This happening immediately is one problem.
Yet with searchDelay applied, the results go back to "tiger" after 3 seconds. Which is another problem.
Now while this table is small, a huge dataset would lag if search ran immediately on every keypress. Therefore I would expect searchDelay to throttle the filter. How do I get that to work here?
Thanks.

Due to calling
search()in yourkeyupevent. This is outside the search Datatables is using for the search input.searchDelaydoesn't affect searching via the APIs.Change the input value to
sonya.Something like this:

If using
searchDelaydoesn't behave the way you like you might need to create a debounce function. See this thread for some ideas.Kevin
