  It was just your libraries - you weren't including the correct ones so there were errors in your console: http://live.datatables.net/sopevego/4/edit

  The download page is always a good resource as it takes care of the libraries and their dependencies,

  Thank you for your help colin. But I still can't make "search" work when using an "option" object as a search selector and having "option" objects inside the td on the column.

  Is there any code example showing how to solve this? I tried with regex, normal search, even using the full html string inside the td.

  I know the uploaded code doesn't work straight away, I uploaded it to show how the code look like, to let u see if I was in the right direction or not.

  Here I'm using an example u posted:
  https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/68189/searching-option-selected-in-a-datatable

  But I'm unable to make search work on '<select>' column Office'. What I am doing wrong there?

  Thanks in advance.

  To do that, you would need to create a custom search. Here is the documentation, and here are a few examples. You would need to get the $(val) of the select element, rather than the element itself,

  Cheers,
