Access to the searched word in Filters through the Table class

Friends, I have a table (django-tables2) and a search filter called 'comment'. (django-filters)

I want to access the searched word inside the Table class. For example, inside the qs() event or somewhere else, I pass it to the request, so that I can access it on the other side in the Table class.

class CommentsView(LoginRequiredMixin, SingleTableMixin, FilterView):
    model = Comments
    queryset = Comments.objects.all().order_by('-id')
    table_class = CommentTable
    filterset_class = CommentFilter

Filter :

class CommentFilter(FilterSet):

    class Meta:
        model = Comments
        fields = ['comment']

    @property
    def qs(self):
        parent = super().qs

        # here I want to pass it
        search_key=self.data.get('comment')

        return parent

The table class :

class CommentTable(tables.Table):   
    def render_comment(self, record):
        # access here like self.request.GET.get('search_key')
        return record.comment

After searching up and down and of course getting help from a friend, I found an answer and I will put it here so that if someone needs it in the future, it can be used :

First: In the filter class, I entered search_key as a property

 def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    super(SearchCommentFilter, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
    self.search_key = self.data.get('comment', '')

After that I read it and send it to table class in the view

 def get_table(self, **kwargs):
    table = super().get_table(**kwargs)
    filterset = self.get_filterset(self.filterset_class)
    search_key = getattr(filterset, 'search_key', None)
    table.search_key = search_key
    return table

Finally, I used it in the table class

 def render_comment(self, record):
    search_key = getattr(self, 'search_key', None)
    return record.comment.replace(search_key, f"<mark>{search_key}</mark>")
