Is it possible to force datatable to get data for user clicks such as a search button ?

Hi
I have a search and results page, where I use datatable for the results. When the user clicks on the search button,
is there a way to force datatable to go grab the data from the server ? I am planning to use server side processing to enable pagination. Right now, my datatable is using DOM data(where my search results page is constructed with data and send to the UI using Ajax). Also, I have links on the results table, which I bind to events using JQuery
eg: $("a.edit-link").click(function(e){ } , will this still work if I use server side processing ? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here's how datatable is currenttly being used:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#rslt_tbl').dataTable( {
"bPaginate": true,
"bLengthChange": false,
"bFilter": false,
"bSort": true,
"bInfo": true,
"bProcessing": true,
"bAutoWidth": false,
"aoColumns": [ {"bSortable": true },
{"bSortable": true },
{"bSortable": true },
{"bSortable": true },
{"bSortable": false}
]
});
});

Thanks
