Custom filters are even more broken

misterminit

According to https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/5228/tip-custom-filters-and-multiple-tables you could just add a dummy setting; however this option is no longer valid, which causes the example to no longer be functional.

It also is part of the "old" api-base; where you stated to rework the api to allow adding a search/extension to a single DT, however I can't find any documentation about this.

What is the new approach to accomplish this?

You still need to use a little bit of logic in the search plug-in I'm afraid:

$.fn.dataTable.ext.search.push(
    function( settings, searchData, index, rowData, counter ) {
        if ( settings.nTable.id !== "tableIdOfInterest" ) {
            return true;
        }

        // filtering logic for `tableIdOfInterest`
    }
);

Yes its c**p. Sorry. This is still something that will be resolved in v2 (which is actually underdevelopment now!).
