Description of problem:
When using the Button implementation, SearchBuilder does not honor the Predefined Search.

Well, my colleague found the answer to this one. I updated the second CodePen, that I labeled as showing not working.

The issue was that the predefined criteria needs to be declared inside the button initialization, not the searchbuilder config.

I have a problem that seemed like this one but the solution doesnt work for me. Im using server side tables and no filter is sent to the backend from the predefined setup.

I'm in a button (similar to the OP), so it looks like this:

                        extend: 'searchBuilder',
                        config: {
                            preDefined: {
                                criteria: [
                                    {
                                        data: 'First',
                                        origData: 'first',
                                        condition: '=',
                                        type: 'string',
                                        value: ['firstname']
                                    }
                                ]
                            },
                            columns: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]
                        }

The preDefined option doesn't seem to do anything. What I see at the server is no searchBuilder at all:

start=0&
length=5&
search[value]=&
search[regex]=false

When done through the interactive searchBuilder I see something more expected:

start=0&
length=5&
search[value]=&
search[regex]=false&
searchBuilder[criteria][0][condition]==&
searchBuilder[criteria][0][data]=First&
searchBuilder[criteria][0][origData]=first&
searchBuilder[criteria][0][type]=string&
searchBuilder[criteria][0][value][]=firstname&
searchBuilder[criteria][0][value1]=firstname&
searchBuilder[logic]=AND

Any ideas would be helpful.

Defining the predefined criteria in the buttons config works here:

Notice there are two ajax requests. The first is the standard SSP request and the second is the request with the predefined criteria. If this doesn't help then please post a link to your page or a test case replicating the issue so we can help debug.
