DataTables列搜索完全匹配

Question

I am using jQuery Datatables plugin in my application. I am trying to search for a string that exactly matches the data in a column. I checked jQuery DataTables - Filter column by exact match which is not working for my case. My search string is a regular expression with | symbols which might look like Logged In|Active|Not Active . When the search string contains, Active ( Logged In|Active ) records with Not Active are also showing up when I use the following search:

jQuery("#myTable").DataTable()
                .columns("#status")
                .search("^"+status+"$",true,false)
                .draw();

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Try below solution:
1. with smart search off ( reference )

jQuery("#myTable").DataTable()
                .columns("#status")
                .search(status,false)
                .draw();

2.with double quotes ( reference )

jQuery("#myTable").DataTable()
                    .columns("#status")
                    .search('"'+status+'"')
                    .draw();

This worked for me:

 $('#yourTableID').DataTable({ 
  search: {
     regex: false,
     smart: false
  }
 })
