Description of problem:
When I generate a table with filtering at the top export to excel, or copying ignores the headers. It works fine when filtering is set to bottom.

Any workaround?

You are overwriting the header with the search input. I suspect Datatables strips the HTML so the header row has empty values. You can use the exportOptions format option to format the header to return the placeholder attribute, like this:
