Hello, i facing a problem with using a search in combination with custom filter dropdown.
i using a custom render and html 5 attributes like data-sorting data-search and data-filter.
The problem is that the data-search and data-filter has different content and the Datatables used a only a data-filter content for both: filtering and search. If there is no data-filter attribute (removed for testing purpose), than data-search begins working as expected.
It is possible to use those attributes separately?
data-search for the search
and data-filter for the filter

This is according to the Orthogonal HTML5 data attributes docs:
Sounds like you can use one or the other but not both. Maybe you can combine both search terms in one attribute. Possibly separated by a space?
We might be able to offer some suggestions if you can build a simple test case showing an example of the data you have and how you want to search for it.

Hello Kevin, thank you for the reply. I just found a simple solution.
I changed the 'data-filter' attribute to 'data-filterS' and change my jQuery code to use that attribute name for the filters, and still use 'data-search' as it was before.
So now all works as it should. Wish you good day!
Great, glad you found solution.
