I would like to filter my table using datatables search box, BUT I only need to "highlight the rows" returned by filter and NOT to redraw table.
Is this possible? Thanks for any help!
It isn't directly possible in DataTables itself at the moment (i.e. its not a trivial initialisation parameter) as the built in filtering will always remove rows which don't match the filter. However, it would be quite possible to create a plug-in which sits on top of DataTables which will do what you are looking for - it just needs to implement its own basis matching of the input value and then manipulate the DOM as required.
