Search

return data.map(v => v.UPLOAD_DT).join(' '); Which is the same as: var out = []; for (var i=0 ; i<data.length ; i++) { out.push(data[i].UPLOAD_DT); } return out.join(' '); Allan

For complex searches with multiple options, it would be worth looking at SearchPanes or SearchBuilder . Both of those are designed to cater for that. Without those, you would need to apply a regex to the search - please see example here, Colin

Thanks Colin. It appears the code I provided above was working. Thanks for responding.

I'm not clear what you mean by "search values are not binding". Are you saying the search itself doesn't work, or that the values don't appear in the column heading? If the latter, then yep, that would be the case, as you have serverSide, you initComplete wouldn't have any knowledge of values not on the current page. Colin

That certainly did it! Thanks Kevin!

See draw, does that fit the bill?

See if the selector-modifer of the column() API helps. Probably something like this: const counts = summaryTable.column(4, {search:'applied'}).data().sum(); Kevin

Works here with null data. Please provide a test case so we can help. http://live.datatables.net/giwireku/1/edit Kevin

That's great! Thank you very much.

Thanks for the response allan. In this specific case I used two special characters... I used ! as the "not" with the column search to get empties/blanks. I also used * as a "match something" to get all not blank values. In both cases there is no need for users (in this case) to search for either of those characters by themselves. Not completely self evident, but this need had a small audience that could be trained to use that...and they were highly motivated because they needed to find empties!
