Regex works but for some reason but for some reason a whitespace is appended to the end. So e.g. ^gnome $ would do what you've expected.

Checking on the datatables JS

I found that in the function https://cdn.datatables.net/v/dt/dt-1.10.21/datatables.js that I think is the used for this purpose.
If the smart flag is on (I checked to search in more than one column is necessary to simplify the search) then the search add the ^ and $ symbols. And the strings we put on the search field are joined using this structure:

search = '^{?=.*?'+a.join( '}(?=.?' )+').$';

But I if I am not wrong in the code we have only regex flag

search: {
regex: true,
},

But testing the search input it is working as if smart flag is active. For instance searching for: gnome clone
