The `criteria` key in the dataTables wrapper allows the developer to pick the type of comparison that is used in searches. However, it is currently limited to `contains`, `starts_with`, `ends_with` and `exact`. I propose to add some additional comparisons for numeric and date comparisons.
Created attachment 127359 [details] [review] Bug 29422: Add `before`, `after` and `between` match options This patch adds three new comparison operators to the datatables api wrapper. The allow for date (and numberic) type comparisons in searches. The special case `between` operator expects a string value of the form `start:end` and will fall back to `after` comparisons if only a start number/date is passed.
