Filtering performed both in search and draw

Hi!

I’ve being profiling search functionality and it came in view that when doing dt.column(0).search(...).draw() DT runs filtering twice. First time when search is called, then second time with draw. That looks a bit weird. I might not understand if there is any underlying reasons that covers, but it looks like a bug. From my understanding, search to be actually output to UI need to be finished with draw call, thus I have question is there a need to perform actual search twice? In case I chain up multiple search calls and finish that with draw call, then I’ll get multiple passes. Searches are not identical, however. The difference is in 3rd parameter (iForce) passed into _fnFilterComplete.

Is this real issue? Am I missing something?

I can’t be sure where the problem actually is, but there is where I would start: https://github.com/DataTables/DataTablesSrc/blob/941a2f037381bcd19e64f08c1bb766fc20497373/js/core/core.draw.js#L461 .
