Were you able to show the search bar after following @Faizal's reply?



Hi Jatinika.

Are you using the HTML version?

The default search DOM has been removed by default for the Metronic custom layout. You can check this file and look for the default DOM modification. You can remove this code block to make the datatable use the default DOM with the search input.

src/js/vendors/plugins/datatables.init.js


$.extend( true, DataTable.defaults, {
dom:
"<"table-responsive"tr>" +

"<"row"" +
"<"col-sm-12 col-md-5 d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center justify-content-md-start"li>" +
"<"col-sm-12 col-md-7 d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center justify-content-md-end"p>" +
">",

renderer: "bootstrap"
} );


Thanks



I did remove this block of code on datatables.init.js but the search bar is still not showing up. Is there anything else I need to do? I am using Metronic v8.1.7.


$("myTable").DataTable({
"searching": true
});
