Search/filter in Datatables 2 doesn't use TableId + "_filter" naming for the search div

paulMN

I would like to upgrade to Datatables 2 but found that the search feature isn't using the default TableId + "filter" to create a custom search/filter. Is there something that I need to do to retain that functionality?

The HTML structure for laying out the Datatables elements has changed. You can use this example and insepct the desired element. For example:

Using $('.dt-search', '#example_wrapper') will find the div containing the search input.
