  I think you will need to use the Extending defaults example code. Something like this:

  $(document).ready( function () {
      var defaultOptions = {
          language: {
              search: "Filter records: "
          },
          dom: 'Bfrtip',
          buttons: [
              'copy', 'csv', 'excel', 'pdf', 'print'
          ],
          bLengthChange:true,
          bInfo:true,
          bPaginate:true,
          order: [[2, "desc"]],
          search: {
              return: false
          }
      };
  
   
      var searchOptions = $.fn.dataTable.ext.deepLink( [
          'search.search', 'order', 'displayStart'
      ] );
  
  
      $('#myTable').DataTable(
          $.extend( defaultOptions, searchOptions );
      );
  
  } );

  Thanks, @kthorngren! It didn't work, and I'm not smart enough to troubleshoot. I'll see if I can implement it on this network and post a link.

  If you look at the browser's console you will see an error similar to this:

  Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list

  Its a syntax error. The ; at the end of $.extend( defaultOptions, searchOptions ); shouldn't be there. Just remove the trailing semicolon.

  The error is in the deeplining docs. @allan will need to remove the semicoln.

  Here is a running example of your code:

  Oops - thanks for flagging that Kevin. I've corrected it in source control now and will deploy the fix soon.
