Data Tables: Search String Filters + Child Rows

Question

http://www.datatables.net/examples/api/row_details.html

See in this example, when you enter a search field, it automatically filters the relevant lines. But how to include child lines in these lines in filter search?

For example, if I want to find the extension number that is stored in the record.

Answer 1

Use table.rows().nodes() .
