I'm using DataTables (datatables.net) and I would like my search box to be outside of the table (for example in my header div).
Is this possible ?

You can use the sDom option for this.
Default with search input in its own div:
sDom: '<"search-box"r>lftip'
If you use jQuery UI (bjQueryUI set to true):
sDom: '<"search-box"r><"H"lf>t<"F"ip>'
The above will put the search/filtering input element into it's own div with a class named search-box that is outside of the actual table.
Even though it uses its special shorthand syntax it can actually take any HTML you throw at it.
