Sounds good. Thank you!

Thank you for this implementation of SearchBuilder !

• SearchBuilder works with your POC ...
• ...but not with with my datas (server=TRUE) for "Greather Than" and similar.
• It seems to work with my datas for "equals".

I will write an issue if necessary when I could.

My small test with my big datatable in production is with"rstudio/DT@806ca41".

NEWS.md 0.17:

Note, as the time of writing, this extension only works on the client-side processing mode

soobing :)

Before server side version of SearchBuilder, I installed jQuery QueryBuilder (without htmlwidgets) in my R shiny App.

is there any chance of this working on server = TRUE option?

In theory, we could make this extension work with server = TRUE, but it's not a trivial amount of work. My estimate is that it will take about a week. It doesn't appear to be a difficult task (simple logical operations in R), but just requires time, which I always lack... If anyone wants to contribute, here is some guidance: https://yihui.org/en/2023/11/dt-searchbuilder/. Thanks!
