Method for "IsFilterApplied"

I wish to check if filter is applied to dataTable returning a bool, or could I easily check numRows and compare to numFilteredRows?

Thanks in advance.

    Currently you need to do something like: `fnSettings().oPreviousSearch.sSearch` to get the current filter. I'll look at making that somewhat easier in 1.10.

    I'm performing both free text filter (all columns) and custom filter on several columns

    [code]oDataTable.fnFilter([search_string], [columnIndex], true );[/code]
    (similar to http://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/api/multi_filter.html)

    Only the free text search is indicated in sSearch propert, that I can tell.

    How to access the filter done in specific columns?

    Best regards,
    Jonas

    Using aoPreSearchCols - http://datatables.net/docs/DataTables/1.9.4/DataTable.models.oSettings.html#aoPreSearchCols
