use columnsDef OR columns options.
The code disabled search for the specified columns base on Column Index. 

'columnDefs' : [     // see https://datatables.net/reference/option/columns.searchable
    { 
       'searchable'    : false, 
       'targets'       : [0,1,4] 
    },
]

"columns": [
    { "searchable": false },
    null,
    null,
    null,
    null
]

Go thro this link https://datatables.net/reference/option/columns.searchable

Yes, use columns().search() instead of filter().
