Search

You could remove the need to hide the default search box by not including the 'f' option in sDom: http://datatables.net/ref#sDom . Also probably better you use fnFilter to do the filtering: http://datatables.net/api#fnFilter rather than hijacking the DataTables input box :-) Allan

by default from a search string, but you can

forums" items in the search by using boolean operators

This is allowing to search from the original data

hi yusuf, I already solved the problem, it wasn't the search function, its was beacuse I didnt had a search input for checkbox, neither for actions. now, everything is working fine.

nice to incorporate the search data into the wider

oSettings.oLanguage.sSearch + sSpace + ''; var jqFilter = $("#searchfilter", nFilter); jqFilter.val(oSettings.oPreviousSearch.sSearch.replace('"', '"')); jqFilter.bind('keyup.DT search', function (e) { /* Update all

the table displays no Search Box or any data.

Forgot to mention: the columns in the table do not span the width that the search header and navigation footer do, but are also shifted to the left, even though there is plenty of space.

igonzalez, Assuming that the hidden column you want to search in is the first column; do this: [code] var oTable = $('table').dataTable( { "fnRowCallback": function(nRow, aData, iDisplayIndex, iDisplayIndexFull){ if (aData[0] == 'valueToSearchFor'){ $(nRow).addClass("new-class-name") } return nRow } } ) [/code]
