Is it possible to change the text label for the table filter (aka Search) from "Search:" to something else (ie: "Filter:" or "Quick Search:" etc...)?
I want to see if there is a way via the dataTable options before I try to hack it with jQuery or a regExp.
The closest thing I can find is the DOM option, but this looks to only be for element ordering and to create general wrapper elements around them - not to customise the actual markup of the elements themselves.

Thanks tangerine.
Can I ask why the preceding 'o' and 's' before the option names?
And what is the correct way to implement this if I have other options assigned? Is the following correct:
$('#clientTable').DataTable({"stateSave": true,"dom": "fltpi","columnDefs": [{ "orderable": false, "targets": [0, 5] }],"oLanguage": {"sSearch": "Quick Search:"}});It seems to work ok but now I have an issue with my 'columnDefs'
o for object, s for string. Google "Hungarian notation".
What "issue"?
Have a look also at
languageandlanguage.searchwhich are the new camelCase notation for those parameters which is preferred in the documentation.Allan
