Some multibyte strings are not found in searches in Absolute Plug-ins

test case: https://live.datatables.net/sukimexi/1/watch?html,js,output
I am using the Absolute Plug-ins to exclude empty strings from sorting.
In that case, some multibyte character strings such as "ブ" and "ド" will not be found in the search.
Is there a workaround?

Interesting one this.

If you make your new type have the same search function as the default search string type, then it works:

var numberType = DataTable.absoluteOrderNumber( [ { value: '', position: 'bottom' }, ] ); DataTable.type(numberType, 'search', DataTable.type('string').search);

I'll look at how that might be setup in the plugin.
