Sure, Jonathan.

It's because DataTables interprets all the data in a table cell as one long
string.

Sometimes, your string might be <td>BRANCH</td>.

Other times, it might be <td>BRANCH<br/>BRANCH1<br/>BRANCH2</td>.

If you were to only use ^$, 'BRANCH' would only match the first scenario. It
wouldn't match the second, because the string ends with BRANCH2 - not BRANCH. 

However, we want it to match both scenarios, so we need to include < and >. 

In fact, there are 4 scenarios I see:

1) ^BRANCH$ (i.e. the string is only BRANCH)
2) ^BRANCH< (i.e. the string begins with BRANCH)
3) >BRANCH< (i.e. the string contains BRANCH in the middle somewhere)
4) >BRANCH$ (i.e. the string ends with BRANCH)

Does that answer your question?
