that value in the search plugin or by using

how are the global search values handled for fields

Thanks @kthorngren that worked perfectly fine and my search input now behaves as intended.

provide information in the search bar (see first link

Sorry Line 1 needs to be inside the search plugin function like the: $.fn.dataTable.ext.search.push( function(settings,data,dataIndex){ var role_id = $('#roles-select').val(); return $(users_table.row(dataIndex).node()).attr('data-role-id') == role_id; } ); Kevin

your code snippets: http://live.datatables.net/yamatige/1/edit Search Panes is working. Workaround:

$(document).ready(function() { $(':input[type="submit"]').prop('disabled', true); $('#datatableid').DataTable({ // "pagingType": "full_numbers", // "lengthMenu" : [ //[2,100,150,-1], // [2,100,150] //[2,25,50,-1], // [2,25,50,"All"] "pageLength": 15, "paging": true, "ordering": false, "info": false, "deferRender": true //], // responsive: true, // language: { //search: "_INPUT_", //searchPlaceholder:"search your data here", // } }); });

That's not a DataTables specific issue, it's more the case of how you're accessing the file. It would be best to search the web, as threads like this on SO are likely to point you in the right direction, Colin

select option and the search, and at the bottom

No, there's no other way, so the second code block would be the way to go. You could also add search: 'applied' to only get the rows that match the current search criteria. Colin
