bServerSide: true and searching inline?

Is it possible to have the search working inline but requesting data (and paginating) at server?

I know that the inline search would only check current page, but i'll offer a search page (complex/advanced) and will inform users about the glitch.

I can't compile the WHERE clause fine because i have custom queries with JOINs and such (where i should use table.attr instead of just attr).


TIA,

    No is the short answer :-). Basically searching is done on the full data set, and since DataTables in server-side processing mode doesn't have access to the full data set, it doesn't work like that.

    Having said that, it would I don't doubt be possible to create a plug-in for DataTables to do client-side filtering on a server-side processing table, it would just require a bit of work to make it work.
