Search

If you want to remove rows from a DataTable, then the search API (search() and column().search()) is the way to do it. Alternatively you could also use a custom search plug-in if you need more advanced logic. Allan

In case it helps someone else, here's what worked for me: var table = $('#example').DataTable(); $('ul').on( 'click', 'a', function () { table .columns( 1 ) .search( $(this).text() ) .draw(); });

workaround. Don't try to search the column that doesn't

likely!), but not the search information (possible), then you

the value from the search box and send it

scripts. A quick Google search for the error lead

datatable into thinking a search was fired (setting bFiltered

13) { table .column( colIdx ) .search( this.value ) .draw(); } }); }); Looks like

length":"25", "order":[ [ "1", "asc" ] ], "search":{ "search":"", "smart":"true", "regex":"false", "caseInsensitive":"true"

clause or other advanced search , how Editor deal with
