Single Search for multiple table

nickmc01

I currently have a site that has 4 datatables on it. Right now I have to type the filter into the search for each of them. Just wondering if its possible to have a single search field that will apply the filter to all of them at once.

In DataTables 1.10 you'll be able to do exactly that sort of thing with the new API:

[code]
$('div.myTables').DataTable().search( ... );
[/code]

(note the capital `D` to get the API instance). 1.10 with this feature is in git in the 1_10_wip branch if you want to try it.

Otherwise, the this plug-in is what you want for 1.9: http://datatables.net/plug-ins/api#fnFilterAll
