Search

Use regex

Use columns().search() to search specific columns. Use the column-selector to specify which columns are searched. Kevin

Just api.cells throw an error, and using this.cells work fine. I have this at the top of initComplete: initComplete: function () { var api = this.api(); You are welcome. Kevin

There are lots of threads with this question like this one. Take a look at the example provided to see how to add the search inputs to the second header row. Kevin

Thanks so much Sandy

Thanks a lot for this response. I've try it but each request hide all lines, so I've disable option "searching" in dataTable and script my personnal code: $(".globalSearch").on( 'keyup', function () { var rec = $(this).val(); $.each($("#example tbody tr"), function() { var ch0=$(this).children()[0]; var ch1=$(this).children()[1]; var colCode = $(ch0).html(); var colUsuel = $(ch1).html(); // si on trouve le mot recherché au début if (colCode.substr(0, rec.length) == rec || colUsuel.substr(0, rec.length) == rec) { $(this).show(); }else { $(this).hide(); } }); } ); Now It's OK :) Have a nice day Arnaud

This thread should help, it's asking the same thing. Cheers, Colin

You just need to include the library.

Did you update the phoneNumber plugin to remove the characters you want? I pointed you to it as an example for you to modify to fit your needs. Doesn't look like you applied the phoneNumber type to any of your columns. Please post a test case with an example of your data and what you have done with the plugin. We can then take a look to help debug. https://datatables.net/manual/tech-notes/10#How-to-provide-a-test-case Kevin
