The filter currently will update for every keypress. For example: http://datatables.net/ and search for 'z'.
I guess that the filter is matching on more records than you were expecting since it searches for partial matches, not just an exact string. If you want an exact string match, you can use fnFilter to do a regex match: http://datatables.net/api#fnFilter
