Hello All,
I am new to DataTables and wondering is it possible to make the search box filter for exact match only?
I know at the moment if I have a list of numbers, and type '1', it will pull back anything containing '1'.
I appreciate it.

You will want to use regex searching. See this example. Your search string, for the
1example you gave, will need to be^1$. The use can type^1$or you can create a custom input where the user types1and you insert the value between^and$, for exampletable.search( '^' + $('#myInput').val() + '$' ).draw();.Kevin
