databable search by only text inside <td> tag

I am using datatable 1.9 . I am facing problem in searching. My table look something like this

<'table> <'td> <'div><'span class="inlineEditCategory" >category<'/span><'/div> <'/td> <'/table>

So if I search on the word like div, span then all rows are is shown which should not. I figure out that content between td is being searched. Is their any way to search only the text part.

You can use the html filtering plugin.

Include the js file after the inclusion of datatables.js main script.

And the use the plugin like this in your datatable initialization:

$('#example').dataTable({
      "columnDefs": [
        { type: "html", target: 0 }             
      ]      
});

You can also do this with the aoColumn option like this:

$('#example').dataTable( {
    "aoColumns": [
      { "sType": "html" },
      ....
    ]
} );

For more info see the documentation
