jqGrid search filter questions

Question

Have two questions.

1. Make the search filter form non modal.

2. Allow searching by pressing enter key instead of having to press the Find button. thanks.

Solution

sachin,

Your question seems to be more of a statement, but if you're looking for various options for jqgrid, take a look at:
http://www.trirand.com/jqgrid/jqgrid.html#

New in Version 3.5 > Integrated Search Toolbar

This allows you to interactively search and it respects the Enter key.

However, you lose operators... but I suppose you could modify the code that's given to add something similar back in (or bundle your operator in with the text....ie, user enters "> 400" rather than "400", but this poses security risks)

I'm also looking to make search filter non modal, to have a an api that you can execute and filter data

Did you ever find a solution to this? non modal search window? The integrated search is less then ideal! The edit form seems ok as you can do edittype:"checkbox",editoptions:{value:"Yes:No",defaultValue‌​:"Yes"} but there does not seem to be the same support for searching. Maybe some way you can hiJack their post/gets and add your own paramaters?

Sounds like a feature request to me - perhaps you should be asking this of the jqgrid programmers?
