Does columns(x).search(y) work for server side?

I'm using Responsive DataTables to render data sent from server side and displaying data and ordering works as expected, but I'm having problems with column filters that I have placed outside the table.

The problem is that after executing columns(x).search(y).draw() is executed POST request is sent as expected, but columns[x]['search']['value'] is always empty (on client and server side).

Here is my code:

    $('input.column-search').on('keyup', function (e) {
        if (e.keyCode == 13) {
            var columnIdx = parseInt($(this).attr('data-column'));
            var searchValue = $(this).val();
            console.log(columnIdx + ' = ' + searchValue);
            table.column(columnIdx).search(searchValue).draw();
        }

    });

Is this normal behavior? I would prefer using this way to get data for my filters instead of adding/altering payload via ajax.data.

UPDATE: Sorry, my bad...found the mistake when I was thinking that I should also post my table init here.

SOLUTION: I had 'searching' set to false since I thought it will disable table search (which wasn't displayed in my case) not column search, so setting it to true solved the problem.
