Search

Thanks Allan for the quick response! Increasing the default column width in the columnDefs to a big enough value works around this for now, thanks for keeping this small nit in mind.

Nice one - thanks for posting you solution :). Allan

Perfect thank you

The searchCols docs has an example showing what you want to do. Instead of "bEscapeRegex": false the parameter should be regex: true to enable regex. You may also need to set smart option false. moreover, reading different forums and Datatable docs sometimes it is searchCols and other times it is aosearchCol The aosearchCol is the legacy form of the option while searchCols is the current (Datatables 1.10) version. The Conversion Guide provides the details. Kevin

We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here. Cheers, Colin

Thanks rf1234 - appreciate the advice. Will start that pronto!

The bottom of this page links to their Github issues page: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.5/about/overview/ Or As Colin mentioned in another of your threads look at Stack Overflow. Don't get me wrong. You asked a valid question. Just pointing out that the issue is not Datatabes related. Kevin

I’m happy to take a look at a test case showing the issue. Our examples don’t appear to show that issue, so I’d need to be able to debug it. Allan

Yeah, I completely forgot about this.api(). Now I can call draw(). Thanks.

That seems to work perfectly Allan. Thanks a lot.
