How should i add multiple search inputs into the dable?

veraicon

Datatables provides by default only one search input in the table, and in the ajax request it has the key "sSearch".
I need 2 search inputs in my table , thus my users can search like when column a quauls sth AND column b equals sth;
does datatables support that? I read the options and apis but i couldn't find that.
i saw that in the searching ajax request,there is sSearch_1 to sSearch_6,does this mean datatables can support up to 6 search variables?

You can use my yadcf plugin for that purpose http://yadcf-showcase.appspot.com/DOM_source.html take a look at the various showcase pages with different setups...
