Search

You might find the conversion documentation useful. Also, keep in mind that search() doesn't do an automatic redraw like fnFilter did. You need to call draw(). Allan

function () { replaceTable .columns( 0 ) .search( this.value ) .draw(); } ); } ); }(jQuery)); and

compile the SCSS, just search the CSS file for

class="col-sm-6"> <b> Use Smart Search :</b> <input type="checkbox" class="global_filter"

i am using alphabet search like this http://www.datatables.net/blog/2014-08-26 . Everything

could do is use search() (or the old fnFilter

being used for the search are cached by DataTables

That wasn't really what I had in mind - you would use $().map() to get an array of the selected values and then use column().search() with that array - for example table.column( 0 ).search( '^'+myArray.join('|')+'$', true, false ). Allan

TypeError: Cannot read property 'search' of undefined. Not sure

Thank you very much Allan, this was the thing I was missing. .search( val ? '^'+val+'$' : '', true, false )
