Why is column search returning values outside my specified range?

rdm

So I have a column populated with integer values between 1 and 6.

In the jquery code I have a simple statement.

contentTable.column(categoryChoice).search("[4-6]", true,false).draw();

However, it returns values from 3 to 6.

I even tried a different format.

contentTable.column(categoryChoice).search("4|5|6", true,false).draw();

It returned values from 3 to 6.

But when I did this:

contentTable.column(categoryChoice).search("[5-6]", true,false).draw();

It return what I needed: only records with values of 4, 5 or 6.

I am confused. Why is this happening to me?

I realized that the filter was being applied to the wrong column. column index number -1 strikes again.
