I have started using the DataTables plugin (v1.6.2) for jQuery(v1.4.2), and I would like to ask you if you know a settings or a plugin that allow me to highlight the text used in search textbox on the filtered rows.
Thank you in advance
I know that this question is now over 6 years old and the answers here may helped you at the time of asking. But for people still searching for this, there is a new plugin to integrate mark.js – a JavaScript keyword highlighter – into DataTables: datatables.mark.js.
Usage is as simple as:
$("table").DataTables({
mark: true
});
Here is an example: https://jsfiddle.net/julmot/buh9h2r8/
This is the cleanest way and also gives you options none of the given solutions offers you.
There's now an official DataTables blog article available.
