Solution 1 - Datatable

You can find more information directly on this link: http://datatables.net/examples/basic_init/filter_only.html

$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').dataTable({
	"bPaginate": false,
	"bLengthChange": false,
	"bFilter": true,
	"bInfo": false,
	"bAutoWidth": false });
});

Hope that helps !

EDIT : If you are lazy, "bLengthChange": false, is the one you need to change :)

Solution 2 - Datatable

If using Datatable > 1.1.0 then lengthChange option is what you need as below :

$('#example').dataTable( {
  "lengthChange": false
});

Solution 3 - Datatable

"searching": false,   // Search Box will Be Disabled

"ordering": false,    // Ordering (Sorting on Each Column)will Be Disabled

"info": true,         // Will show "1 to n of n entries" Text at bottom

"lengthChange": false // Will Disabled Record number per page

This is key answer to this post "bLengthChange": false, will hide the Entries Dropdown

Solution 5 - Datatable

I solve it like that. Use bootstrap 4

    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('#table').DataTable({
            "searching": false,
            "paging": false,
            "info": false
        });
    });

cdn js:

cdn css:

Just write :

  $(document).ready( function () {
        $('#example').dataTable( {
          "lengthChange": false
        } );
    } );

Solution 7 - Datatable

For DataTables <=1.9, @perpo's answer

$('#example').dataTable({
    "bLengthChange": false
});

works fine, but for 1.10+ try this:

$('#example').dataTable({
    "dom": 'ftipr'
});

where we have left out l the "length changing input control"

Solution 8 - Datatable

sDom: "Tfrtip" or via a callback:

"fnHeaderCallback": function(){
    $('#YOURTABLENAME-table_length').hide();
}

Solution 9 - Datatable

To disable the "Show Entries" label, add the code dom: 'Bfrtip' or you can add "bInfo": false

$('#example').DataTable({
    dom: 'Bfrtip'
})

Solution 10 - Datatable

You can try this also.

simply hide it from CSS by using,

 .dataTables_length {
        display: none;
    }

Both will work.

Solution 11 - Datatable

Add this option:

"bInfo": false

Solution 12 - Datatable

To hide "show entries" but still have pagination. I used the code below and it worked.

"bPaginate": true,
"bLengthChange": false,
"bFilter": true,
"bInfo": false,
"bAutoWidth": false

Solution 13 - Datatable

To disable the "Show Entries" label, use "bInfo", example: "bFilter" is the search component, but are active by default.

$(document).ready( function () {
  $('#example').dataTable( {
    "bInfo": false
  } );
} );

Enable or disable the table information display. This shows information about the data that is currently visible on the page, including information about filtered data if that action is being performed.

Solution 14 - Datatable

If you're using Angular you can use the following code to do the same.

in component.html

<table id="" datatable [dtOptions]="dtOptions" class="table dataTable">

and in your component.ts

 dtOptions: any = {}


 this.dtOptions = {
  searching: true,    //enables the search bar
  info: false        //disables the entry information
}
