I can't get search builder to remove the "empty" and "Not empty" options

I can't get search builder to remove the "empty" and "Not empty" options.

I want to remove these options because if I return null to my datatables they always throw an error so I always return a string " ". So empty and not-empty don't work in any of my tables.

I am trying to follow the instructions on this page but neither method is working for me to remove options.

Here is my example using the first method explained.

I figured out the correct way to alter search builder when using buttons.
I tried extending buttons and it wasn't working then I tried adding the conditions clause in the a config section and it finally worked.
That should be added to the documentation page if possible to make it easier for folks using buttons to understand how to do it.

{   extend: 'searchBuilder',
                    config: {
                        conditions: {
                            string: {
                                'null': null,
                                '!null': null
                            },
                            date: {
                                'null': null,
                                '!null': null
                            },
                            num: {
                                'null': null,
                                '!null': null
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }

Hi @desperado ,

It is documented in this example, and also in the buttons documentation page - button.searchBuilder.

Thanks,
Sandy
