I am trying to filter or search a column in jquery datatable using multiselect checkbox drop down. Suppose for example if it is a city column, the table should filter or search if I check two cites as per checkbox drop down and display the result for the checked cites in drop down. I tried lot of ways to find solution but, i couldn't crack it upto now. if anyone can help in solving this it is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. I am just putting jquery code below for your reference.

Reset to default 5You can achieve that with the Search API
It allows you to build a regular expression and then filter the desired column:
$('#table').DataTable().column(col).search(regex, true, true).draw();
I've coded a plete example for future reference:
JSFIDDLE
If you use angularjs, you can try Smart table, it's super easy to use!:
<st-select-multiple collection="collection" predicate="education"></st-select-multiple>
