Reset search on DataTable with stateSave turned on

MaryDBA

Nothing I have tried works. I have tried every solution I can find on the internet, both in the DataTables forum and in Stack Exchange. I have version 1.10.15. I've tried the APIs. I've tried the solution such as is seen at https://datatables.net//forums/discussion/31375. This throws an error that search is not a function.

I have tried turning off stateSave, clearing, and turning it back on. With some solutions I can see the input text box clear for a millisecond before the value comes back. What does it take to make this thing reset?

That example should work. But you may need to change it to something like this:

$('#myTable').DataTable()
.search( '' )
.columns().search( '' )
.draw();

If you are using ajax the variable table or whatever you are using is likely not containing the Datatable API when the code to clear the searches is executed.
