  Currently you need to do something like: `fnSettings().oPreviousSearch.sSearch` to get the current filter. I'll look at making that somewhat easier in 1.10.

  I'm performing both free text filter (all columns) and custom filter on several columns
  
  [code]oDataTable.fnFilter([search_string], [columnIndex], true );[/code]
  (similar to http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/api/multi_filter.html)
  
  Only the free text search is indicated in sSearch propert, that I can tell.
  
  How to access the filter done in specific columns?
  
  Best regards,
  Jonas

  Using aoPreSearchCols - http://datatables.net/docs/DataTables/1.9.4/DataTable.models.oSettings.html#aoPreSearchCols
