Datatables exact word search

Question

Hi I\'m using datatables and I would like to filter my data by an exact word.

My table data looks like below;

+-----+----------+
| num | status   |
+         


        

Answer 1

To filter search result with an exact match could be done this way -

table.column(index).search("^" + searchText + "$", true, false).draw();
