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.

This example shows how to integrate SearchBuilder with Editor. This example shows how the SearchBuilderOptions server-side class can be used to display select elements within SearchBuilder when using server-side processing. No changes are required to the client side initialisation.

Because that's a dynamic element, you need to get the val() of the select during the search. This example here demonstrates input elements, the same applies for select, Colin

One additional thing - worth noting that since you are using server-side processing, it is only possible to search in ISO8601 format.

How about from the API side to allow adding search criteria and leave it to the site developer to implement the UI side? Is this already possible and if so could you point me to the appropriate example?

Looks like there is a timing issue with adding the Search element to the DOM and immediately trying to access it. Move the code into initComplete like this: http://live.datatables.net/vebiqoxa/1/edit Kevin

Thanks for your reply Colin, but the syntaxe is correct, to acces an object in laravel 'search' => ['return' => true] is ok

Use the search() API to programmatically execute searching. Kevini
