Client side jqGrid filtering with "filterToolbar"

Question

I need to add filtering to jqGrid, which is fully client-side controlled (data is downloaded only once from the server).

I need to use filterToolbar to filter grid data, but could not find the information if there is a default search engine on the client side. Is server side search the only way to do this?

Thanks Cosmin

Answer 1

Unfortunately, the search (filtering) is performed only on the server side, according to the jqGrid docs :

Currently, we do not have a module for searching local data, that is, when data type parameters are set to local. All searches are performed on the server side.

Update

As noted below, client-side filtering support has been added in jqGrid 3.7. For an example, see the Tooolbar search demo in section 3.7.
