We have set the searching parameter to true and it works as expected.
However we want to cusomise the search function, depending on what is entered we would like to show and hide different rows and it is a bit more advanced than just searching the data for a string.
Now we have seen the $.fn.dataTable.ext.search.push function. It adds additional filtering. We would however like to replace the entire filtering function if possible so that we can get full control.
Is it possible to keep the search field, but replace the function used for filtering?
