Search

Hello Allan, I have figured out the problem. It was simple using: $data->where( function ( $q ) { $q->or_where('MiddleName.NAME', 'joe' ); $q->or_where( 'MiddleName.NAME', 'Dad' ); }); now i get all the benefits of binding plus multiple search terms in one go. Thanks for your help.

Yes, with the columns render function, you can make it look how ever you want https://datatables.net/reference/option/columns.render If you put render in the search box, there are lots of examples.

assuming the checkboxes are not in the datatable, You would use the click event handler on the checkbox to apply a search that is represented by the checkbox on the for example $(checkbox).on("click", function() { if( this.checked) { $("#example").DataTable().search(this.value).draw(); } });
