The Search manual (https://datatables.net/manual/search) says: "Negative search matching using a dash before a word (e.g. -Click will find all data that does not contain the word "click")."
However, I can't get this working. My test case is just the zero_config page above. Searching Tokyo works, but seaching -Tokyo returns 0 results. Am I misunderstanding something? I tried with regex search enabled and couldn't get anything working there. My client's want exclusion search and multiterm search (ie. term1 || term2) and I can't seem to figure out either. Thanks in advance!

Sorry - the doc is wrong. The negation character is
!. Use!Tokyo.I'll commit that change to the docs right now!

Thanks! Looks like I'll need to upgrade from 1.13 to use it, but works now.
