  I would leverage this example using the DateTime extension. Move the code to init the text input event handlers inside the else clause so the date range inputs aren't initialized. Add the code from the example and update the two inputs with id and name attributes. Updated test case:

  Only one question.

  How to prevent using hardcoded index (in this case 4) data[4], and retrieve an index by column header class: "colDate" in my example?

  https://live.datatables.net/dezayoju/3/edit
  

  Tried some code without success:

  data[table.columns('.colDate').index()]
  
  data[settings.sInstance.columns('.colDate').index()]

  Best option is probably to define a filter function for that column using column().search() rather than using the global search.

  There is no option inside a ext.search function to lookup by class name (at least not a performant way).

  Thanks, i don't know why but after copy/paste your new code, it doesn't work on my localhost environment... i've checked everything!

  i've added console.log("triggered") inside table.column('.colDate').search(function (data) { ... } but it seems it never trigger when #min or #max change, so the table redraw!

  nevermind, i'm still on DataTable.ext.search.push(...) code that works great!

  Hi i've found that:

  DataTable.ext.search.push(...)
  

  from your example: https://live.datatables.net/dezayoju/1/edit

  is applied on ALL datatables in the same page. Is it possible to assign this filter only to a specified table on a page with multiple tables?

  For example only to id="table1" and ignore others?

  Thanks
