How to show Search Result

companella

Hi, thank you so much for great plugin.

I've set up a table (database) of people from all over the country and by clicking a link designating a state like "California" I want it to run search with prefixed term (included in the table).

So I am trying to establish something like a link that gives a search result (with a given search value/term).

Thank you so much in advance!

I do something exactly like this in the DataTables reference: http://datatables.net/ref#search (note that "search" is put into the filter box).

"View source" to see the how it works, but this is the key part:

[code]
var search = "";
if ( window.location.hash !== "" ) {
search = window.location.hash.substring( 1 );
}

var oTable = $('#reference').dataTable( {
...
"oSearch": { "sSearch": search },
...
[/code]
