Awesome thanks!

what i didnt see 1. filtering. eg: find in column x where string not equal to blah 2. Searching specific column rather than entire table.

See the "Year" and "Max Price" examples at the bottom of the "Querying" sub-section under "Operations", right before "Pagination". You would do that by adding your own query function:

    $('#my-table')
      .bind('dynatable:init', function(e, dynatable) {
        dynatable.queries.functions['myQueryName'] = function(record, queryValue) {
          return record.myAttribute != queryValue;
        };
      })
      .dynatable();

Then, you'd invoke the query like this:

    dynatable.queries.add('myQueryName', 'hello');
    dynatable.process();

And that will execute your query function which finds all records for which `myAttribute` is not equal to "hello". Of course, you'd need to bind the above query execution to some user input, like the `change` event of a text field or something like that, and instead of 'hello', you could pass in the value of the input.

This is a common scenario, so dynatable provides a shortcut to this style of invocation of your custom query functions by passing dom elements to the `inputs` config option. So, you could replace both of the above with this:

    var dynatable = $('#my-table')
      .bind('dynatable:init', function(e, dynatable) {
        dynatable.queries.functions['myQueryName'] = function(record, queryValue) {
          return record.myAttribute != queryValue;
        };
      })
      .dynatable({
        inputs: {
          queries: $('#my-input')
        }
      });

This will now cause the `myQueryName` function to be run on the dataset with the value of the `#my-input` dom element and process the results on the `blur` or `change` events of that dom element (the events that trigger the query processing can be changed via the `inputs.queryEvent` config option).

I think this answers both of your questions. If there's a different sort of syntax you had in mind for providing an easier or more straight forward way of doing this, please let me know!
