Remove 'Search' Option But Leave 'Search Columns' Option

Remove 'search' option but leave 'search columns' option

DT options needs to be passed as a list. Further, by using the sDom initialisation variable it is possible to specify where in the DOM controls are placed. The standard setup looks like this:

    datatable(iris, filter="top", selection="multiple", escape=FALSE, 
      options = list(sDom  = '<"top">flrt<"bottom">ip'))

The syntax is a bit quirky, but basically the above says that f, l, r and t options are to be placed in the top div with the i and p options in the bottom div. Please refer to the docs at http://legacy.datatables.net/usage/options for a more thorough explanation.

Anyways, "f" is the "Filtering input" option (i.e. the search option) and by moving "f" to another div or omitting it we may move around or disable the search bar. A solution to your problem might look like this:

    datatable(iris, filter="top", selection="multiple", escape=FALSE, 
      options = list(sDom  = '<"top">lrt<"bottom">ip'))

R datatable: Hide search box for individual columns

You use CSS with a selector on the disabled inputs of type search to hide them.

Here's an example in a shiny app:

library(shiny)

shinyApp(

  ui = fluidPage(tags$head(tags$style(
    HTML("input[type='search']:disabled {visibility:hidden}")
  )),
  DT::dataTableOutput('tbl')),

  server = function(input, output) {
    iris2 = head(iris, 10)
    output$tbl = DT::renderDataTable(datatable(
      iris2,
      filter = 'top',
      options = list(columnDefs = list(list(
        targets = c(1, 3), searchable = FALSE
      )),
      pageLength = 5)
    ))
  }
)

How can I remove the search bar and footer added by the jQuery DataTables plugin?

For DataTables >=1.10, use:

$('table').dataTable({searching: false, paging: false, info: false});

If you still want to be able the .search() function of this plugin, you will need to "hide" the search bar html with the dom setting:

$('table').dataTable({dom: 'lrt'});

The defaults are lfrtip or <"H"lfr>t<"F"ip> (when jQueryUI is true), f char represents the filter (search) html in the dom, ip for the info and pagination (footer).

For DataTables <1.10, use:

$('table').dataTable({bFilter: false, bInfo: false});

or using pure CSS:

.dataTables_filter, .dataTables_info { display: none; }

How to disable searching in specific DataTable columns?

I resolved using the columnsDef option.

The following code disabled search for the specified columns. Exactly what I wanted.

'columnDefs'        : [         // see https://datatables.net/reference/option/columns.searchable
                { 
                    'searchable'    : false, 
                    'targets'       : [0,1,4,5,6,7,8,9] 
                },
            ]

Column filtering DataTable, remove specific column filter

To avoid drawing the control in the first place, take a look at this line:

$('#table thead tr:eq(0) th').each( function (i) { 

Here, i represents a loop counter. When the counter is 0, you are building the input control for column index 0 (the first column). You can therefore use an if(i > 0) { ... } statement inside that function to ignore the first iteration of the loop.

Because you are cloning a heading row which already contains a checkbox in the first column, you may also need to remove the "cloned" checkbox using $( this ).empty();.

$('#table thead tr:eq(0) th').each(function(i) {

  if (i == 0) {
    $( this ).empty();
  } else {
    var title = $(this).text();

    $(this).html('<input type="text" />');

    $('input', this).on('keyup change', function() {
      if (table.column(i).search() !== this.value) {
        table
          .column(i)
          .search(this.value)
          .draw();
      }
    });
  }

});

remove default search box and add custom one in jquery datatable

You can use the dom option to hide the search input without disabling the search functionality. This is useful if you want to provide your own inputs for searching (perhaps on a column by column basis, or globally). It also accomplishes what you asked for initially - remove the original search input without using CSS.

Here is the documentation: https://datatables.net/examples/basic_init/dom.html

And, of course, an example:

var table = $('#example').DataTable({
        paging: false,
        bFilter: false,
        ordering: false,
        searching: true,
        dom: 't'         // This shows just the table
    });

You could also use this method to render the search input in a different place. Depending on where you need to render the input, you may be able to avoid using a custom one altogether.

Disable column from header filtering but leave in toolbar

If I correctly understand the problem, then you can do the following:

1. add search: false to the column note, which you want not have in the filter toolbar.
2. add columns option to searching options of navGrid. For example, you can use columns: [{name: "id", sorttype: "int"}, {name: "name"}, {name: "ship"}, {name: "note"}]

Clarifying the above steps: searching dialog use by default the same columns like the filter toolbar. The property search: false in the column note force removing searching functionality for the column note. Adding columns option allows to include some columns independent on the value of search property. Additionally you specify the order of columns displayed in searching dialog.

Remove search filter on Datatable

Maybe you are looking at something like this: http://www.datatables.net/plug-ins/api/fnFilterClear

You could clear the search in a very simple way:

var table = $('#example').DataTable();
table
 .search( '' )
 .columns().search( '' )
 .draw();
