Hi,

I have just started using jQuery and datatables plugin. I have been able to successfully set the table to an AJAX feed from a database.

However, I want to have a page that in my mind looks like the Google homepage where there is a search box and then once a term is searched for, this is put into the SQL query and the AJAX call and the datatables will appear below.

Can anyone advise on the best way to do this? I am not sure how to make the datatables use AJAX to update when the table is not loaded until the search box is completed. And it has nothing to load because it has no query without the search box.
