Thanks for let me know about this example mistake.

The problem was not in grid, but in the example grid setup.

Now I have corrected this and the example work as expected.

Thanks again

Kind Regards

Best regards

Fixed

jqGrid 4.4.5 has a bug: searchrules don't work more. One can reproduce the problem for example on the official jqGrid demo in "Searching" / "Validation in serach".

The reason of the problem I described in the answer. The changes in $.jgrid.checkValues was just not oriented on the case where g option are null. I suggested in the answer a simple bug fix, but after analysing of the problem more carefully I posted the pull request where one calls different common methods of jqGrid with correctly initialized this.

By the way, after applying of suggested changes one can remove $t parameter from bindEv and remove g from checkValues. Instead of that one could use this. It would make the usage of this more consequentially.

To do this one need just make simple modification in the line inside of saveCell and the line inside of saveRow which uses $.jgrid.checkValues and the line of editGridRow, the line, the line and the line of filterToolbar, the line of editCell and the line of editGridRow which uses $.jgrid.bindEv. I changed already in the pull request two places where $.jgrid.bindEv used in $.fn.jqFilter.
