title: Manually trigger jquery Datatable search
body: <p>I'm using the Javascript Datatable with server side searching.</p>
  
  <p>So:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var table = $('#myTable').DataTable({
                  responsive: true,
                  serverSide: true,
                  ajax: {
                      url: myUrl,
                      dataSrc: ''
                  },
                  fnServerData: function (sSource, aoData, fnCallback, oSettings) 
                  {
                      oSettings.jqXHR = $.ajax({
                          url: myUrl,
                          success: function (json, status, xhr) {
                              //Do stuff
                          }
                      });
                  }    
              });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I build the url dynamically using options set on my form.</p>
  
  <p>I would like a button on my form so I can manually trigger the fnServerData function. At the moment I have to type into the included search box.</p>
  
  <p>e.g. <code>&lt;button ng-click="model.search()"&gt;Search&lt;/button&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>Is this possible?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
