Filter (Search) inside Columns

Hey all,

I currently have a server sided script and a client sided script which shows data inside the data table from mySQL. I know want to be able to allow the user to search for "keywords" for example a football teams name and it should show their fixtures.

I genuinely don't understand how to do this. I have looked through the different plug-ins but unsure of how to do this?

I'm unsure where I need to place my initialised code and what I actually need to do to make this work.

I really hope someone can guide me through this mission as I've got the sorting working (which was simple but took me long)

Best Regards.
