I don't see a way to change the color of the word Use CSS - .dataTables_filter { color: red } for example. I don't understand what you mean by controlling the placement and that it is shown in the center. Can you link to a test page showing the issue please. However, placement is controlled by CSS, so something in the CSS you are using must be aligning it center (although I can't say what without a test case). Allan

Tangerine gave you all of the information required to meet your requirements. With respect, we will not just provide sample code but can provide guidance. If you show us what you have tried, we might be able to offer some suggestions. Allan

Because I'm an idiot! :) We've all been there.... :-)

Thanks, Allan! That worked perfectly!

Anyone who managed to fix this? Thank you so much!

Thank you for your help. Much appreciated. Managed to resolve this.

I'm not very familiar with using the dom option but that is probably what is causing it. Maybe try adding f to it, dom: "rtifS"? Just a guess. If that doesn't work, I bet removing that whole option would restore your filtering input.

You can use the filter_container_id property of my yadcf plugin, take a look http://yadcf-showcase.appspot.com/DOM_source.html notice that I moved the third column filter to the < div id="external_filter_container_wrapper" > , see examples on the showcase and code snippets below them (read docs)

The filtering options in DataTables are easily its weakest point at the moment and I plan to give it an overhaul in future. Currently there isn't really a workaround other than to modify the core code, so that it calls your function only once and you can do the loop, rather than DataTables doing the loop. Allan

Looks like i was looking for oSearch.
