You are right.Thanks Kevin.

We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here. Cheers, Colin

That's fantastic Kevin! Thank you so much. It works perfectly!

The documentation is here: https://datatables.net/examples/api/multi_filter_select.html

stateSave by default will keep track of paging, searching and ordering. Can you give more details on what you're trying to achieve, please. Colin

Hi Kevin, Thank you very much. I will follow that way next time. I have fixed the issue for now. Following code worked for me successfully. $(document).ready(function() { // Setup - add a text input to each footer cell $('#OrdersTable thead tr').clone(true).appendTo( '#OrdersTable thead' ); $('#OrdersTable thead tr:eq(1) th').each( function (i) { var title = $(this).text(); $(this).html( '<input type="text" placeholder="Search '+title+'" />' ); $( 'input', this ).on( 'keyup change', function () { if ( table.column(i).search() !== this.value ) { table .column(i) .search( this.value ) .draw(); } } ); } ); var table = $('#OrdersTable').DataTable( { orderCellsTop: true, fixedHeader: { header: true, footer: true }, "columnDefs": [ { "searchable": false, "orderable": false, "targets": 0 } ], "order": [[ 1, 'asc' ]] } ); table.on( 'order.dt search.dt', function () { table.column(0, {search:'applied', order:'applied'}).nodes().each( function (cell, i) { cell.innerHTML = i+1; } ); } ).draw(); } );

Fantastic! Datatables is simple, yet can get complex as you tailor it, which should be expected. It seems that you have worked out most of the issues which indicates a reasonably mature product. When possible, its definitely worth the time to drill down a problem to the smallest scope possible, and post a link from the live site. Solutions are usually pretty quick then.

Hi @Wiezo , This example here should help - it's showing that. Cheers, Colin

You may be interested in this thread too. Its a simplified version of Colin's example. Just more options to show how this can be done :smile: Kevin

Figured, it was because i had the following set to false searching: false
