Search

Not working with multiple tables now. What is the best way to search an array of values?

Your DataTables initialisation is a mess. $('#bonds').DataTable( { responsive: true, "dom": '<f<t>lip>', "oLanguage": { "sSearch": "Find the bond you need:"}, language: {searchPlaceholder: "Search records"} }); Using 1.10.1 or greater, "language" replaces "oLanguage" - do not use both.

It depends upon thirdparty software which needs to be included. As noted in the header for the search highlighting plugin: It depends upon the jQuery Highlight plug-in by Bartek Szopka: http://bartaz.github.io/sandbox.js/jquery.highlight.js Allan
