    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Sorry, I’m not aware of a direct solution for that, and it wouldn’t really be useful anyways. The search works “live”, so that it’s immediately executed when a user types a character. Therefore, an extra button would not change anything.
    If you really want one, you’d need to add a custom search field and button using the DataTables JS API, maybe with the help of this code: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/search-when-enter-key-is-pressed?replies=12#post-4621734

    Hi,

    unfortunately, I’m pretty busy at the moment, so I just don’t have time to develop the necessary code for you. Sorry.

    You will basically have to extend that code with some jQuery commands to add a button after the input field and then let a click on that trigger the search.

    Regards,
    Tobias
