title: How can I search in a specific column using the jQuery DataTables plugin?
body: <p>I used the <code>jquery dataTable plugin</code> to show a table which contains (username, dates, and email).
  I want to disable the filtering/search for the username and email columns and enable just the search for the dates. when I click on the search field I'll open a calendar to choose the date which we will look for.</p>
  
  <p>I just want to use this plugin for filtering only dates, basically. Can this be done?</p>
  
  <p>-edit--</p>
  
  <p>I read the docs :<a href="http://jquery-datatables-column-filter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/dateRange.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">dateRange</a> But It doesn't work for me I added the                                                                                             </p>
  
  <pre><code>('.dataTable').dataTable()
      .columnFilter({
          sPlaceHolder: "head:before",
          aoColumns: [null, { type: "date-range" }, null]
      });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I duplicated the headers but I can't get the date fields or any other field to search the data into.</p>
