Link to test case: Unable to provide link, pretty dependent on backend
Debugger code (debug.datatables.net): Ok that tool is awesome, ran it and am unable to upload for some reason, versions are up to date, no common issues found
Error messages shown: None
Description of problem:
I have a big table with lots of options and it works amazingly well! Kudos and thank you for all the work. I use SearchPanes and some users of smaller laptops have complained that the search panes force the data off screen, I told them to scroll down but they insist it would be nicer if it could be hidden.
So I thought no big deal, I'll use the dom option to wrap the P in some type of collapsible element, so I modify the dom property and it doesn't appear to honor the P placement. I've moved the P to first position, to last position and searchpanes doesn't change.
I even tried the searchpanes sample on the doc page
dom: '<"dtsp-verticalContainer"<"dtsp-verticalPanes"P><"dtsp-dataTable"frtip>>'
And that only wraps the datatable elements, the searchpane elements are still outside.
Hierarchy looks like:
My Included Libraries are:
* DataTables 1.13.3
* Buttons 2.3.5
* Column visibility 2.3.5
* Responsive 2.4.0
* SearchPanes 2.1.1
* Select 1.6.1
* StateRestore 1.2.1
* Bootstrap 5 Formatting
DataTable config is: https://gist.github.com/timthedevguy/1a48451dbccf68d6e97663f64913323e
Sorry, forums kept removing formatting 
I'm wondering if I'm just using an option that cancels another option or something. Thanks for any help you can give.

It does appear to work okay in this little test case: https://live.datatables.net/lafotozi/1/edit .
Are you able to modify it in some way to show the issue you are seeing?
Thanks,

I may have a bigger issue because if I remove the P then it still appears. Thank you for the assistance, I'll see if I can did a little deeper and if I can't find anything then I'll try and spin up a demo site.
I'm so sorry for wasting your time, I found a line of code:
table.searchPanes.container().prependTo(table.table().container());That is why dom was ignored, and why removing P tag had no effect. Thanks so much and sorry again.
That would do it - that line of code was moving the element regardless of where it was originally placed.
No problem - glad you got to the bottom of it.
