DataTables can not search in multiline (containing '\n') columns. Fix is provided.
Replace
[code]var rpSearch = new RegExp( sRegExpString, "i" );[/code]
with
[code]var rpSearch = new RegExp( sRegExpString, "im" );[/code]

    Actually DataTables should be stripping new lines from the input for exactly this reason. This line "return sData.replace(/\n/g," ");" in _fnDataToSearch() is what does that. Perhaps you could provide an example of this not working please? The zero config example ( http://datatables.net/examples/basic_init/zero_config.html ) has a newline in "Internet Explorer 4.0" to test exactly this.
