Column filter is working absolutely fine but default filter (input field search) is not working at all. I tried several things but nothing worked out. I want my Input field to have default behavior of search for two cols i.e. allAssociates and dept column along with the individual column filters. It does not throw any error as well. Custom column filter reference is from so I have not included here: https://www.freakyjolly.com/angular-material-table-custom-filter-using-select-box/#Adding_Filters_on_Table
filterTable method is not working as expected I would appreciate any suggestions..

Shared the snippet below:
HTML
<div>
<mat-form-field
*ngFor="let filter of filterSelectObj"
style="margin-left: 15px;">
<mat-label> Filter {{filter.name}} </mat-label>
<select
matNativeControl
name="{{filter.columnProp}}"
[(ngModel)]="filter.modelValue"
(change)="filterChange(filter,$event)">
<option value=""> All </option>
<option
[value]="item"
*ngFor="let item of filter.options">
{{item}}
</option>
</select>
</mat-form-field>
<mat-icon>search</mat-icon>
<input
type="text"
placeholder="All Associates/Dept"
#input
(keyUp)="filterTable($event.target.value)">
<button
mat-stroked-button
color="warn"
(click)="resetFilters(input)">
Reset
</button>
</div>
TS file:
ngOnInit() {
//fetch data from Service
const deptData = this.deptService.getData();
this.dataSource = new MatTableDataSource(deptData);
this.dataSource.filterPredicate = this.createFilter();
this.filterSelectObj.filter((o) => {
o.options = this.getFilterObject(deptData, o.columnProp);
});
}
filterTable(input: string) {
this.dataSource.filterPredicate =
(data: DepartmentData, f: string) => !f || (data.allAssociates || data.dept) == f;
input = input.trim(); // Remove whitespace
input = input.toLowerCase(); // MatTableDataSource defaults to lowercase matches
this.dataSource.filter = input;
}
