Search

As standard, no custom options will be applied to the pane for the column if columns.searchPanes is undefined. Otherwise the related options will be applied if they are defined within this object. This is useful as it means that the panes for individual columns can be customised rather than affecting every pane.

Empty cells will be represented in the panes by the option columns.searchPanes.emptyMessage for that specific column. This is useful as it's a more user-friendly way than just having a blank cell. The value is passed through the i18n() function. Note, this value is only used if searchPanes.i18n.emptyMessage and language.searchPanes.emptyMessage are undefined. If this is the case then this value will over-ride the global value searchPanes.emptyMessage for this specific column.

By setting a class name, specific panes can be targeted for custom styling. Custom Panes can have custom classes applied in a similar way to how columns.searchPanes.dtOpts are applied to panes. You can declare the columns.searchPanes.className option within an object of the columnDefs array - this will apply the custom class to that pane.

As standard, the value of the className is undefined. Setting searchPanes.panes.options.className to a string value will set the class of the row for the option in the custom pane. This is useful for adding custom styling to specific rows.
