I was wondering if there was any kind of CSS or javascript that I could implement with WpDataTables that would highlight the matching string when the "Search" box is utilized. See attached for mock-up of proposed formatting.
Sorry to disappoint you but unfortunately this is not possible with the plugin build in and it requires some code customization. For now only Excel like tables have that "type" of search.

Thanks for the reply! In terms of the "code customization", I was doing some digging and I found a DataTable forum which posted this code http://bartaz.github.io/sandbox.js/jquery.highlight.js
It's designed for the original DataTables interface, but do you think this code could be altered to meet the needs of wordpress?
Hi Maria,
We use DataTables and looking in this code I think that this should work with our plugin if it is implemented right.
If you need our assistance we can offer you our paid customization service where you can hire one of our developers to implement this feature for you.
Best regards.
