Data-Search and Multi Filter Select

bergur

I've been using this example on my DataTables.
http://www.datatables.net/examples/api/multi_filter_select.html

But I have a data-order and data-search attributes in one of my date columns. The column displays January 2015 but the data-search is a a timestamp 20150101 meaning that when it filters out it doesn't find any data (beacause its searching for January 2015 and not 20150101)

So basically what I need to do is to change that the option value is to the timestamp from data-search. I've been looking at the api on column(i).Data() but not finding anything on how to retrieve that data-search attribute.

Any help or pointers in the right direcation is greatly appreciated.
