jQuery DataTables: hide search bar
Data table provides customization options to show and hide elements and also custom elements. We can use dom values to customize:
l - length changing input control
**f - filtering input**
t - The table
i - Table information summary
p - pagination control
r - processing display element
**f is for filter , so we can remove it.**
$('#example').dataTable( {
"dom": 'lrtip'
} );
Simply add this class in your css - .dataTables_filter, .dataTables_info { display: none; }
The live instance -
$(document).ready(function () {
let table = $('#mytable').DataTable();
$('#mytable tfoot th').each(function (i) {
let title = $('#mytable thead th').eq($(this).index()).text();
$(this).html('<input type="text" placeholder="Search ' + title + '" data-index="' + i + '" />');
});
$(table.table().container()).on('keyup', 'tfoot input', function () {
table.column($(this).data('index'))
.search(this.value)
.draw();
});
});.dataTables_filter, .dataTables_info { display: none; }<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

</tbody>You need to adjust sDom attribute of your DataTable accordingly:
let table = $('#mytable').DataTable({sDom: 'lrtip'});
That's supposed to hide search box without disabling filtering feature.
Also, you might want to check out official reference doc regarding the subject.
let table = $('#mytable').DataTable({sDom: 'lrtip'});
this worked for me
