  Hello @straetch,

  If you have a look to the documentation here https://datatables.net/examples/advanced_init/enter_search.html, you can see this:

  new DataTable('#example', {
      search: {
          return: true
      }
  });
  

  I hope it will solve your problem.

  Thanks! I wasn't aware of this. I only need this for one specific data table and not on each page that data table appears on.

  Since all of my other searches work "normally" I want to raise my users's attention that they must hit "Enter" in this specific case. Hence the "language" method.

  search: {        
      return: installationPage ? false : true //true for admin page: you must hit enter
  },
  language: {
      "searchPlaceholder": lang === 'de' ? 
                           ! installationPage ? "Eingabe, dann <ENTER>" : "Suchbegriff"
                           : ""
  },
