I would like to remove 'global search' option from my application, but leave 'column search' option. Any ideas? I've tried different paramethers like searching=FALSE, filtering='none'... None of this works properly.

My code:

server.R:

library("shiny")
library("DT")

data(iris)

shinyServer(function(input, output) {

    output$tabelka <- DT::renderDataTable({

        datatable(iris, filter="top", selection="multiple", escape=FALSE)

    })

})

ui.R

library("shiny")
library("DT")

shinyUI(fluidPage(

    DT::dataTableOutput("tabelka")

))

And picture which helps to understand my problem:

Slightly simpler syntax, for anyone else still looking:

datatable(head(iris), options = list(dom = 't'), filter = list(position = "top"))

Other options. To display table only, use dom = 't':

datatable(head(iris), options = list(dom = 't'))

To display table and filter (search box), the default setting:

datatable(head(iris), options = list(dom = 'ft'))
