Nevermind, I figured it out by playing with this demo: http://datatables.net/examples/api/regex.html For anyone else who may be curious as to how this is accomplished, the js for doing what is described above is: [code] $('#documents_table').fnFilter('Articles of Incorporation|Bylaws', null, true, false); [/code]

No plans for DataTables core. Should be fairly easy to loop over the data and replace what you are looking for though. fnGetData and fnUpdate will help here. Allan

It's encouraging to hear the datatable object can be accessed in 1.7. Until then though... :( Initializing the table is not a problem at all. The trouble is I am supporting an application written by someone else and he initialized it in each php. I was hoping I could resolve it in the js itself by just accessing the object directly. Oh well, guess I gotta do it the hard way. But thanks to both of you for clearing it up. Regards, Sabier

Sounds odd - do you see that behaviour here as well: http://datatables.net/examples/data_sources/server_side.html ? It does cause a 'redraw' (which could be caught by checking for the return key and quitting out - I might do that) - but it doesn't return an empty result set. Allan

Oh, now I get it. Excellent! This will work just as good for me. Thank you very much!

Hi, fantastic it is working fine. Thanks allan Gnaniyar Zubair

Thanks, I will try it. I'm very impressed with your quick answer on all post!

Looks pretty good - just two small things: The ID isn't on the INPUT element, it's on the div wrapper. So your selector should be: $("#records_filter input").autocompleteArray( Make sure this runs after the DataTables initialisation. I've just tired that and with works nicely. Allan

Hi Bill, Super - good to hear you got it sorted! Useful information for anyone else using Zend Framework. Allan

Link to test case: https://live.datatables.net/heniqedu/1/edit?html,js,output 1. Select 'Add Condition' 2. Data: Position 3. Condition should default to 'Empty' 4. Note that the table does not update despite 3 records not having a Position set 5. There is no external way to even trigger the DataTable redraw; one must manually change the Condition to something else such as 'Not Empty' and then change it back to 'Empty' which defeats the purpose. Description of problem: It's possible to define a searchuilder.defaultCondition for a column such as '=', '<', '>', 'null', '!null', etc. When selecting a SearchBuilder condition that does not have an input field such as Empty (null) or Not Empty (!null), SearchBuilder does not trigger a rebuild. This is likely because while the default condition loads, there isn't an onChange event that is fired. Desired outcome: When a searchuilder.defaultCondition is set for a column and that default condition does not have a value input, then DataTables should automatically perform a rebuild with all of the current conditions.
