Ok, jquery amateur alert before I get started.
I'm using Datatables and cannot seem to get the fnFilterAll API to function, even with the example given on their site. I've exhausted an online google operation over a period of several hours last night and to my frustration I couldn't find an actual working example of the fnFilterAll.
fnFilterAll API is to allow searching of multiple tables (for those wondering).
To keep things simple at the moment, I created a split page with two tables. I think I'm missing something very elementary though, like perhaps I have to specify columns, but not sure where to do so (in this.value area?). At any rate, here's my code as a starting point:
Any assistance greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

If I understand what it is you are looking for then you are almost there. I took your code and made a small tweak to it so search / filter on all the tables at once.
I put a demo on jsFiddle http://jsfiddle.net/bhSv9/
The search filters for datatables are local to the table assigned. What I did was add another input and pointed the global search to it instead.
The HTML addition
<input type="text" id="Search_All">
The JavaScript change
$("#Search_All").keyup(function () {
oTable1.fnFilterAll(this.value);
});
Hope it helps.
