How to access current search values for columns?

alchemi

Minimal test case here: http://live.datatables.net/vafopuri/1/edit

I would like to have one button instead of two, which chooses one of two search terms after checking the currently applied search term on this column. I don't know how to access this currently applied term.

Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Michael

You can use table.column(2).search() to get the current search term for the column. Checkout the column().search() docs for more info.
