Search in grid

I have a text box independent of the grid. After typing some text in the box, and hitting enter, I want only those rows to be displayed in the grid that have matching text in any of the columns. Note that I am not looking for column filter provided by API.
Please advise, thanks.

You may try to use the filterBy() method.
For example:

// input_text - text in your input myGrid.filterBy(0, function(data,id){ for(var i=0; i<myGrid.getColumnsNum();i++){ if (myGrid.cells(id,i).getValue()== input_text) return true; } return false; });
