Search

Hi, Just an Idea. Using the following method to disable searching on certain columns. It will not search in the 2nd and 3rd column. $('#example').dataTable( { "columnDefs": [ { "targets": [ 2 ], "searchable": false }, { "targets": [ 3 ], "searchable": false } ] } );

Sorry I deleted columnDefs but the table didn't wire the name_colum with the definition of aoColumnDefs. I cannot fill this information: table.row.add( {"col_name1":"Tiger Nixon"} ).draw(); But don't work, instead this code is working: table.row.add( {"0":"Tiger Nixon" } ).draw();

gt; b) ? -1 : 0)); } columnDefs: [ { type: "datetime-au", "targets": 12

filter: 'applied', order: 'current' } } ] }, "columnDefs": [ { "targets": [0], "visible": false,
