Here's a simple jsfiddle and DataTables debugger results . I want to search the table for an extension number (which is in the child row), but typing one of the extension numbers into the search bar leaves no search results. I tried the solution from this post , by adding this: table.columns().every( function () { var that = this; var header = this.header(); $( 'input',
