Search

function () { table .column( $(this).parent().index()+':visible' ) .search( this.value ) .draw(); } );

The search filters live inside oSettings, they're called sSearch (global) and sSearch_* (individual). I can't say I know how to set them without going into oSettings in something like the fnServerData and setting it manually though.

change', function () { table.column( i ) .search( $(this).val() ) .draw(); } ); table.column( i

It works to clear the search before doing the submit. The last line clears the search box text. var table = $('#tableName').DataTable(); table.search('').draw(); $('.dataTables_filter input').val('');

columns, doing the "all-column search" ,etc.) causes this behavior

that you want the search. Assuming that is correct

I still have the same error when attempting to use Editor-1.3.1 however am now able to use the search input field after removing "bServerSide: true,". Please let me know of possible additional configurations needed to use version 1.3.1 Thanks

@RCOC - I'm guessing you are using 1.9.4? There was a bug in 1.9.4 which meant that HTML tags wasn't stripped out. That is resolved in 1.10 and your search would operate as you are looking for in that version. Allan

do not need to search the data, the solution

document.createElement('input'); input.setAttribute("type", "text"); input.setAttribute("name", "search_" + value.replace(" ", "_")); input.setAttribute("placeholder", "Filter " + value);
