Feature searchFade does not work

[interceptor]

I Assume that all that one has to do is import the Module:

import 'datatables.net-plugins/features/searchFade/dataTables.searchFade.mjs';

then enable the feature when creating the Datatable instance:

searchFade: true

I get the following error:

TypeError: val is undefined
SearchFade dataTables.searchFade.mjs:45

I spent some time trying to understand the code, but am not sure what it is trying to do.

With DataTables 2 SearchFade is a "feature" which must be placed somewhere around the table with the layout option - for example:

var table = new DataTable('#example', {
  layout: {
    topEnd: 'searchFade'
  }
});

There it replaces the default search feature in the top right, but you could have both if you wanted.
