It works properly for one word categories, however if there are spaces in between it doesn't show results.I'm not quite sure how to fix it, can you please check my code and let me know what is not working? Many thanks!

function applyFilters() {
    var categorySearch = categoryFilters.length > 0 ? categoryFilters.map(function(f) { return '\\b' + f.replace(/\s+/g, '\\s+') + '\\b'; }).join('|') : '';

    console.log('Category Search:', categorySearch); // Debug message

    table.column(5).search(categorySearch, true, false);
}

I need filtering words that have spaces in between, for instance, more than one words sentences.

  • As it stands, the question is missing important details. We have to make some guesses as to why this problem is happening - and I, for one, cannot recreate your problem. Your code works correctly for me.
