[SOLVED] Filtering working only after first 3 chars?

MrBaseball34

Why does the filtering work with the first 2 NUMERIC characters but you must enter 3 ALPHA cahras for the filtering to work?

Where would I find that?

Filtering will work on every key press in DataTables. Try typing a 'z' in the demo for example: http://datatables.net/ . I would guess that your data is being matched on the first two input characters. Have you HTML which needs to be stripped? http://datatables.net/examples/advanced_init/html_sort.html (works for filtering as well as sorting).

I have no HTML in any of the returned columns.
Also, no product shows with the search term if I only type 2 alpha chars.

I'm going to need a little more to go on than that :-) As you'll be able to see from my home page example, it is doing filtering on each key press. Perhaps you can post a link to an example showing the problem please?
