Filter: startsWith instead of contains?

orange_roughy

Hi,

The default filtering/search behavior matches rows for items that *contain* the user-entered string. Is there a way to change the behavior to match rows for items that *begin* (startsWith) the user-entered string?

thanks,

You can use fnFilter ( http://datatables.net/api#fnFilter ) to pass in a regular expression you want to match on, including 'starts with'.
