Data Table input type as text instead of search

I have a system that populate data table using CakePHP and the amazing part is

its search field was something like this

<input type="text" aria-controls="c_table">

And the date table i populate was

<input type="search" class="" placeholder="" aria-controls="c_table">

How do I change my own populated data table search bar as input type "text" instead of "search"

var dt = $('#clients_table').DataTable( {
        "processing": true,
        "serverSide": true,
"oLanguage": {
"sSearch": "Search"},
"sDom": '<"top"f>irt<"bottom"lp><"clear">'

Above is part of my data table declaration but I think that does not affect the search bar to be search instead of text, I wonder how cake PHP actually change the search as text for data table.

Thanks for helping

    Did you figure this out? I'm having the same issue.

    Just use a little bit of jQuery after you initialise the table: $('div.dataTables_filter input').attr( 'type', 'text' );
