    See my last two posts in this thread. Basically Chrome and maybe other browser's will auto-populate the first input field it finds. A good workaround seems to be to place a dummy/hidden input field at the top of the page and this will be populated instead of the Datatables search input.

    I found out a little while ago that they starting doing this nonsense as sites were abusing the autocomplete="false" attribute, attempting to disallow password managers for filling in the user's details for them. So to benefit the users, they ignore that attribute. This looks like an unindented consequence.

    Hello I found the following solution that works in Chrome march 2024

    initComplete: function() { $(this.api().table().container()).find('input').attr('autocomplete', 'off'); $(this.api().table().container()).find('input').val(''); },
