Advanced search interface for Datatables

nextnow

Has anyone come across an advanced search/filter interface for Datatables?
I'm looking to create one not unlike Gmail's, which drops down out of its regular search box.

If anyone knows of something that would give me a heads start, that would be awesome.
Thanks!

The key here is the fnFilter API method - with that you can build up almost any filter you want (with a little HTML sprinkled on for the display :-) ).

You might be interested in taking a look at the column filter widgets exta for DataTables:
