custom filter not applying when calling fnFilter

hammersmash

I push my filter function to $.fn.dataTableExt.afnFiltering, then call fnFilter with a value. The custom filter function is not applied to the search. When I make any change to the value in the filter input box, dataTables searches again and the custom filter is applied as expected.

I'm not sure why this is happening.

Adding an fnDraw() immediately after the fnFilter() resolved the issue. Seems like there is a difference when fnFilter() redraws and the fnDraw() function is called.

Anyways,dataTables is still a great tool.
