Disable search first column from jQuery datatable not working

I want to disable the search for the first row.

  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.dtOptions = {
      pagingType: 'full_numbers',
      pageLength: 10,
      mark: true,
      processing: true,
      responsive: true,
      order: [[1, 'asc']],
      columnDefs: [{
        targets: [0],
        searchable:false,
        orderable: false,
        width: "50px"
      }]
    };

Here is my html table

<table datatable [dtOptions]="dtOptions" class="display table table-striped table-bordered dt-responsive" *ngIf="families" width="100%">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th></th>
      <th>{{'family.Name' | translate}}</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr *ngFor="let family of families">
      <td>
        <a *ngIf="editFamilyModel.familyId  != family.familyId" [title]="family.familyId + ' family-details'" (click)="edit(content, family.familyId)">
          <span class="material-icons md-18 clickable">
            edit
          </span>
        </a>
        <a *ngIf="editFamily && editFamilyModel.familyId  === family.familyId" [title]="family.familyId + ' family-details'" (click)="save(content, family.familyId)">
          <span class="material-icons md-18 clickable">
            save
          </span>
        </a>
        <a *ngIf="editFamily && editFamilyModel.familyId  === family.familyId" [title]="'Cancel changes'" (click)="cancel(content, family.familyId)">
          <span class="material-icons md-18 clickable">
            cancel
          </span>
        </a>
        <a *ngIf="editFamilyModel.familyId  != family.familyId" (click)="open(content, family.familyId)" href="javascript:void(0);">
          <span class="material-icons clickable">
            delete
          </span>
        </a>
      </td>
      <td *ngIf="editFamily && editFamilyModel.familyId === family.familyId" class="form-control"><input type="text" value="{{ family.familyName }}" /></td>
      <td *ngIf="editFamilyModel.familyId != family.familyId">{{ family.familyName }}</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
  <tfoot>
    <tr>
      <td>
        <a href="javascript:void(0);">
          <span class="material-icons clickable" (click)="addFamily(familyName.value)">
            add_box
          </span>
        </a>
      </td>
      <td>
        <input #familyName type="text" class="form-control" name="name">
      </td>
    </tr>
  </tfoot>
</table>

However when looking at my screenshot here you can see that the datatable search is not disabled. My pen that is called "edit" is highlighted when I search for the letter "e". However when I type "ed" I get no data which makes senses since the second column does not have any text that contains the letter "ed". How can I fix this? Thank you.

Here is a working example, you are on the right track with specifying it in columnDefs. Check out the correct structure located here : https://datatables.net/reference/option/columns.searchable

UPDATE 2/1/2022*

Like the following:

ngOnInit(): void {
    this.dtOptions = {
      pagingType: 'full_numbers',
      pageLength: 10,
      mark: {
       exclude: ['td.no-marking'],
      },
      processing: true,
      responsive: true,
      order: [[1, 'asc']],
      columnDefs: [{
        targets: [0],
        searchable:false,
        orderable: false,
        className: 'no-marking',
        width: "50px"
      }]
    };

In your columnDefs object, add the following className: 'no-marking' and include the following for your mark options mark: {exclude: ['td.no-marking'],},

$(function() {

  // Initialize DataTables
  $('.datatables-table').DataTable({
    // Enable mark.js search term highlighting
    mark: {
        exclude: ['td.no-marking'],
    },
    "columnDefs": [ {
        "targets": 0,
        "searchable": false,
        className: 'no-marking'
      } ]
  });

});
