Good afternoon. Prompt, there are two issues (use theme datatables): 
1 - why the search field occurs only on what is seen and what is hidden under the ellipsis search is not looking? 
2 - how to stretch a particular field, something to display the full contents of the field?

Well to search for is what GC will understand the search is to be conducted in all the stuff that is visible.. not what is not visible. What is not visible.. how is the rows going to be displayed with that context??? So search is logical on that context.

 

As per your query on how to expand the field with ... well u need to use jquery / javascript to identify the exact row .. which u wana increase .. and u can just set the width of the 1st row (of course the column width i am saying bout) .. and thats it .. its all set the way u want.

Thanks for the answer. 
Prompt, where there is a reduction of the text? 
How to make that instead of "..." - <br> substitute?
