Search over orthogonal data not working

Search over orthogonal data not working

in SearchPanes

In the following simple case, I fill a datatable with orthogonal data for the name. One of the rows has a name containing Harry, which is in the data:

"name": {"display": "Tommy W.", "search": "Harry Winters"},

But if I type Harry into the search field, nothing is found.

What am I doing wrong here?

    In your columns change the property name from search to filter, like this:

    { data: 'name', title: "Name", render: { _: 'display', filter: 'search', order: 'search'}},

    See the Orthogonal docs for the operation names.
