jQuery DataTables 'OR' Search/ Filter

Question

I am using jQuery DataTables (http://www.datatables.net/) to display some tabular data. The search/ filter is a powerful feature. Although if multiple keywords are searched

Answer 1

The same but triggering search on "every" key press instead of pressing enter:

var dataTable = $('table').dataTable();
var input = $(".dataTables_filter input");
input.unbind('keyup search input').bind('keyup',
function(e) {
    if (input.val().length > 0) {
        var keywords = input.val().trim().split(' '), filter = '';
        for (var i = 0; i < keywords.length; i++) {
            filter = (filter !== '') ? filter + '|' + keywords[i] : keywords[i];
        }
        dataTable.fnFilter(filter, null, true, false, true, true);
        //                                ^ Treat as regular expression or not                        
    } else if (input.val().length == 0) {
        dataTable.fnFilter(" ", null, true, false, true, true);
    }
});

var dataTable = $('#your_datatable').dataTable();
var input = $(".dataTables_filter input");
input.unbind('keyup search input').bind('keyup',
function(e) {
    if (input.val().length > 0) {
        var keywords = input.val().trim().split(' '), filter = '';
        for (var i = 0; i < keywords.length; i++) {
            filter = (filter !== '') ? filter + '|' + keywords[i] : keywords[i];
        }
        dataTable.fnFilter(filter, null, true, false, true, true);
        //                                ^ Treat as regular expression or not                        
    } else if (input.val().length == 0) {
        dataTable.fnFilter(" ", null, true, false, true, true);
    }
});
