SOLUTION

Use the code below for DataTables 1.10+ to perform exact match for all columns in the table:

var table = $('#example').DataTable();

$('.dataTables_filter input', table.table().container())
    .off('.DT')
    .on('keyup.DT cut.DT paste.DT input.DT search.DT', function (e) {

        // Uncomment this loop for large datasets for performance
        // to search only on ENTER key
        // if (e.keyCode == 13) {

            var term = $.trim(this.value).toLowerCase();
            if (term !== "") {
                $.fn.dataTable.ext.search.push(
                    function (settings, data, dataIndex) {
                        var isFound = false;
                        $.each(data, function (index, value) {
                            if (value.toLowerCase() === term.toLowerCase()) {
                                isFound = true;
                            }
                            return !isFound;
                        });

                        return isFound;
                    }
                );
            }

            table.draw();

            if (term !== "") {
                $.fn.dataTable.ext.search.pop();
            }

        // Uncomment this loop for large datasets for performance
        // to search only on ENTER key
        // }
});
