Search

DataTables' built-in filtering is "smart" in that it breaks the user's input into individual words and then matches those words in any position and in any order in the table (rather than simple doing a simple string compare). Although this can significantly enhance usability of the filtering feature, it uses a complex regular expression to perform this task, and as such it can interfere with a custom regular expression input if you enable that option (search.regex). As such, this option is provided to disable this smart filtering ability.

As well as the selection control buttons, Select also provides a button that can be used to toggle a filter that will reduce the display to just those rows in the table which are selected: showSelected. This example demonstrates this button. To see it in action, select one or more rows and then toggle the button by clicking on it. The display will reduce to just the selected rows. Toggle the button again and the filter will be removed.

This example shows how to create a pre-defined filter using searchBuilder.preDefined. More details on the structure and properties can be found in the SearchBuilder.Condition documentation. A more detailed walkthrough of preDefined options can be found at this doc page.
