How to add "title" attribute to search box

blackquattroa4

Hi, I searched forum and googled internet, but couldn't find answers to my question.
Is it possible to configure the "title" attribute of search <input>? My use case is that I have a table with invoices. I included some attributes in hidden column so it is searchable with that attribute. Ideally, I want to have some sort of popup to hint the keyword when mouse hover over the search box. For example, I want to show following

open search for open invoice
paid search for paid invoice
thisyear search for invoice from this year
lastyear search for invoice from last year
pastdue search for pastdue invoice

obviously using "placeholder" will not work since all will be in one line. I am hoping to be able to configure "title" attribute but open to other suggestions. Thanks.

You could use:

$('div.dataTables_filter input', table.table().container()).attr('title', 'My title');
