How to pass multiple filters to jQuery datatable?

• I have a jQuery dataTable which I use to search for a month like this:

    table.column(1).search("February").draw();

• I would like to pass 2 months as filter now but this does not work:

    table.column(1).search(["Ferbrary", "March"]).draw();

• Also, search returns an DataTables.API object as per the documentation - https://datatables.net/reference/api/search()

Is there anyway we can add 2 DataTables.API objects and invoke a draw() on the combination? I tried this and it didn't work:

    filtered_table = table.column(1).search("February") + table.column(1).search("March");
    filtered_table.draw();

• This link jQuery DataTables filter rows based on multiple values says we can use a different function fnFilter instead of search to search multiple values using regex.

As per the suggestion in the above link, I tried these and none worked:

    table.fnFilter("^February\$|^March\$", 1, true, false, false, false).draw();

    table.fnFilter("February|March", 1, true, false, false, false).draw();

How do I achieve multiple value filters on the same column? Pls help!
