Description
I was struggling to get the searchpanes to filter by a selected left joined table value.
On reviewing the live example in the below linked blog, it seems this might be a bug within the php library as it does not work there either:

The searchpane correctly lists the unique values for a given leftjoin, but selecting one of the values from the searchpane has no affect, when the expected behaviour would be for the whole table to be filtered by rows that match the selected left join.

Research direction
Start with the linked server-side processing example and reproduce the SearchPanes selection against a left-joined value. Trace the PHP library's SearchPanes and left-join filtering path, then verify that selecting a value filters the full table to matching rows.
