Which method should I call to start a search ?

Description

I use data-filter-control="true" and data-search-on-enter-key="true" to not start the search automatically. This way, the user can enter slowly the multiple texts to search in columns.

I would like to start the search by pressing a button.

Which method should I call to start a search ? Is there an existing button that I can show for manual search ?

For now, I use this code

            $('#start-search').click(function (){
                $('input.search-input').each(function() {
                    if ($(this).val() !== '') {
                        $(this).trigger({ type: 'keyup', which: 13, keyCode: 13 });
                        return false;
                    }
                });
            });

I think you can use the showSearchButton option.

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, it is working with the searching bar but not with the filter control extension : https://live.bootstrap-table.com/code/sdespont/16808
