Search

Hello, thanks for the fast response, with your help it seems to work as expected. Thank you very much for your assistance! have a nice day.

Thanks for posting back! Colin

Start by reading about the different search modes in the search() docs. The same is true for column().search(). The example you linked to uses this: api .column(colIdx) .search( this.value != '' ? regexr.replace('{search}', '(((' + this.value + ')))') : '', this.value != '', this.value == '' ) .draw(); You will want to prefix the search value with ^ and postfix with $. Change line 5 to look like this: this.value != '' ? '^' + regexr.replace('{search}', '(((' + this.value + ')))') + '$' Kevin

I hope it will work for you.

I thought I answered a similar question recently. You asked this same question in this thread. Please don't post duplicate questions. If you have follow up questions please post them in your original thread. Kevin

Another option is to set column.visibility to false for the 56 columns you want hidden when the Datatable initializes. Kevin

Thanks Allan. My thanks. Understanding the why will help me resolve the issue. :)

Please provide more details of the problem.question. Better would be a link to your page or a test case showing the issue so we can offer suggestions. https://datatables.net/manual/tech-notes/10#How-to-provide-a-test-case Kevin

Use stateSaveParams to save the input values and stateLoadParams load and repopulate the range input values. Kevin

See if this SO Thread discussing ways to get the selected value helps. Unless you are suing something like select2 you are only able to select one option at a time so the map function isn't needed. Kevin
