How store all DataTable's data in javascript array after column search?

I have tables exactly as described in https://datatables.net/examples/api/multi_filter.html. My code structure is exactly the same (please see the full code and demo using the link).

$(document).ready(function() {
    // Setup - add a text input to each footer cell
    $('#example tfoot th').each( function () {
        var title = $(this).text();
        $(this).html( '<input type="text" placeholder="Search '+title+'" />' );
    } );

    // DataTable
    var table = $('#example').DataTable();

    // Apply the search
    table.columns().every( function () {
        var that = this;

        $( 'input', this.footer() ).on( 'keyup change clear', function () {
            if ( that.search() !== this.value ) {
                that
                    .search( this.value )
                    .draw();
            }
        } );
    } );
} );

Now I want to return all records (rows) in the table after performing the search operation, either through console.log() or save the data in javascript array.

For example after I search Accountant in Position column, I want to get the whole data stored in javascript array

[[Airi Satou,Accountant,Tokyo,33,2008/11/28,$162,700],
[Garrett Winters,Accountant,Tokyo,63,2011/07/25,$170,750]]

I have tried something like console.log( table.row( this ).data() ); but didn't work. How to achieve this?

Thanks to Paolo's answer, I got an insight of what should I do. My answer is the alternative to Paolo's answer. Instead of returning an array everytime I type on the search box, I add a submit button after applying filter to my table. So the returned array will be the same as the data shown on the table after filtering.

var table = $('#tableViewer').DataTable({
            "pageLength": 5,
            "lengthMenu": [[5, 50, 100, -1], [5, 50, 100, "All"]],
            "dom": 'lfrtipB',  // component position
            buttons: [
                {
                    text: 'Run',
                    action: function (e, dt, node, config) {
                        plainArray = table.rows({ search: 'applied' }).data().toArray();
                        for (var x = 0; x < plainArray.length; x++) {
                            console.log(plainArray[x]);
                        }
                    }
                }
            ]
        });
