DataTable serverside processing search

Question

I want to add search option to my dataTable. I'm using 1.10.13 serverside processing option.

here is the js code I have tried:

  var thisTable = $('#users).DataTable({
        "processing": true,
        "serverSide": true,
        "ajax": {
            "type": "GET",
            "url": "/user/userda",
            "dataSrc": "data",
            "contentType": "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            "dataType": "json",
            "processData": true
        },
        "fnDrawCallback": function () {
            console.log(this.fnSettings().fnRecordsTotal());
        },
        "columns": [

            {"data": "name"},
            {"data": "email"},
            {"data": "company"},
            {"data": "usersgroup"},
            {"data": "regdate"}

        ]
    });

To perform global search using your external input:

$('#search').on('keyup click', function (){
    $('#users').DataTable().search(this.value).draw();
});

See Global search example for more details.
