disable Search Filter Text box

HI,

How to disable Search Text box?

Two options, you can either remove the "f" option from the sDom, or set bFilter (the filtering feature) to false. Use the sDom option if you want to use the fnFilter() API function.

I'd like to remove the global search box, but leave the column filtering functionality in tact. It appears that setting bFilter: false removes the global search box, but it also disables column filtering. Is there a simple option to only remove the global search box? As a workaround, I have used CSS and set .dataTables_filter { visibility: hidden;}, but I wanted to ask if there was another option. Thanks in advance.

You can remove the filtering input element using sDom: http://datatables.net/usage/options#sDom
