Search

i.e. option to make search run after formatting, not

column_search",function () { table .column( $(this).parent().index() ) .search( this.value ) .draw(); } ); Give it

Yep, if you run it, it'll show you how to do the search. It's only doing this: table.column(1).search('director').column(2).search('london').draw(); so you won't miss much if it doesn't work for you...

Is the individual column search also in the footer? You should be able to use two footer rows, one for each function. Similar concept as this but the column search in in the header: http://live.datatables.net/giharaka/1/edit Kevin

What are you using for your server side scripts? Are they Datatables supplied scripts? The regex search capability is the responsibility of your server script. Kevin

This example shows the search and sort parameters being

do a full table search(), something like this. That's

show that blink when search box displays. Not sure

Hi @arnolddd97 , You'll need to use enable regular expressions with column().search(), so something like table .column(4) .search('^' + $(this).val() + '$', true, false) .draw(); Cheers, Colin

Hi @nicontrols , Yep, as you say, search() will replace any previous search string that was being used - this is the same behaviour whether the table is client side or server side. Cheers, Colin
