You can search records in a Grid, by using the search method with search key as a parameter. This also provides an option to integrate search text box in grid’s toolbar by adding Search item to the Toolbar.
@Html.EJS().Grid("Search").DataSource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.datasource).Columns(col =>
{
col.Field("OrderID").HeaderText("Order ID").Width("160").Add();
col.Field("CustomerID").HeaderText("Customer ID").Width("170").Add();
col.Field("Freight").HeaderText("Freight").Width("170").TextAlign(Syncfusion.EJ2.Grids.TextAlign.Right).Format("C2").Add();
col.Field("OrderDate").HeaderText("Order Date").Width("170").TextAlign(Syncfusion.EJ2.Grids.TextAlign.Right).Format("yMd").Add();
}).AllowPaging().PageSettings(page => page.PageCount(2)).Toolbar(new List<string>() { "Search" }).Render()public IActionResult Index()
{
var orders = OrderDetails.GetAllRecords();
ViewBag.datasource = orders;
return View();
}To apply search at initial rendering, set the fields, operator, key, and ignoreCase in the SearchSettings property.
@Html.EJS().Grid("Search").DataSource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.datasource).Columns(col =>
{
col.Field("OrderID").HeaderText("Order ID").Width("160").Add();
col.Field("CustomerID").HeaderText("Customer ID").Width("170").Add();
col.Field("Freight").HeaderText("Freight").Width("170").TextAlign(Syncfusion.EJ2.Grids.TextAlign.Right).Format("C2").Add();
col.Field("OrderDate").HeaderText("Order Date").Width("170").TextAlign(Syncfusion.EJ2.Grids.TextAlign.Right).Format("yMd").Add();
}).AllowPaging().SearchSettings(search => { search.Fields(new string[] { "CustomerID" }).Key("Ha").Operator("contains").IgnoreCase(true); }).PageSettings(page => page.PageCount(2)).Toolbar(new List<string>() { "Search" }).Render()public IActionResult Index()
{
var orders = OrderDetails.GetAllRecords();
ViewBag.datasource = orders;
return View();
}By default, grid searches all the bound column values. To customize this behavior define the
FieldsofSearchSettingsproperty.
The search operator can be defined in the Operator property of SearchSettings to configure specific searching.
The following operators are supported in searching:
| Operator | Description |
|---|---|
| startswith | Checks whether a value begins with the specified value. |
| endswith | Checks whether a value ends with the specified value. |
| contains | Checks whether a value contains the specified value. |
| equal | Checks whether a value is equal to the specified value. |
| notequal | Checks for values not equal to the specified value. |
By default, the
Operatorvalue is contains.
To search grid records from an external button, invoke the search method.
@Html.EJS().Button("search").Content("Search").Render()
@Html.EJS().Grid("Search").DataSource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.datasource).Columns(col =>
{
col.Field("OrderID").HeaderText("Order ID").Width("160").Add();
col.Field("CustomerID").HeaderText("Customer ID").Width("170").Add();
col.Field("Freight").HeaderText("Freight").Width("170").TextAlign(Syncfusion.EJ2.Grids.TextAlign.Right).Format("C2").Add();
col.Field("OrderDate").HeaderText("Order Date").Width("170").TextAlign(Syncfusion.EJ2.Grids.TextAlign.Right).Format("yMd").Add();
}).AllowPaging().PageSettings(page=>page.PageCount(2)).Render()
<script>
document.getElementById('search').addEventListener('click', () => {
var gridObj = document.getElementById("Search").ej2_instances[0];
var searchString = "AL";
gridObj.search(searchString);
});
</script>By default, grid searches all visible columns. You can search specific columns by defining the specific column’s field names in the Fields property of SearchSettings.
@Html.EJS().Grid("Search").DataSource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.datasource).Columns(col =>
{
col.Field("OrderID").HeaderText("Order ID").Width("160").Add();
col.Field("CustomerID").HeaderText("Customer ID").Width("170").Add();
col.Field("ShipName").HeaderText("Ship Name").Width("170").Add();
col.Field("ShipCity").HeaderText("Ship City").Width("140").Add();
}).AllowPaging().SearchSettings(search => { search.Fields(new string[] { "CustomerID", "ShipCity", "ShipName" }); }).PageSettings(page => page.PageCount(2)).Toolbar(new List<string>() { "Search" }).Render()public IActionResult Index()
{
var orders = OrderDetails.GetAllRecords();
ViewBag.datasource = orders;
return View();
}To clear the searched grid records from the external button, set Key property as empty string.
@Html.EJS().Button("clear").Content("Clear Search").Render()
@Html.EJS().Grid("Grid").DataSource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.datasource).Columns(col =>
{
col.Field("OrderID").HeaderText("Order ID").Width("160").Add();
col.Field("CustomerID").HeaderText("Customer ID").Width("170").Add();
col.Field("Freight").HeaderText("Freight").Width("170").TextAlign(Syncfusion.EJ2.Grids.TextAlign.Right).Format("C2").Add();
col.Field("OrderDate").HeaderText("Order Date").Width("170").TextAlign(Syncfusion.EJ2.Grids.TextAlign.Right).Format("yMd").Add();
}).AllowPaging().SearchSettings(search => { search.Fields(new string[] { "CustomerID" }).Key("Ha").Operator("contains").IgnoreCase(true); }).PageSettings(page => page.PageCount(2)).Toolbar(new List<string>() { "Search" }).Render()
<script>
document.getElementById('clear').addEventListener('click', () => {
var gridObj = document.getElementById("Grid").ej2_instances[0];
gridObj.searchSettings.key = '';
});
</script>public IActionResult Index()
{
var orders = OrderDetails.GetAllRecords();
ViewBag.datasource = orders;
