First of all I want to show the code I'm using:

$(document).ready(function () {

var mydata = [

[0,"IT000","ITEM0"],

[1,"IT001","ITEM1"],

[2,"IT003","ITEM3"],

[3,"IT004","ITEM4"],

];

var grid = $("#table");

grid.jqGrid({

cmTemplate : {

search : true,

searchoptions : { sopt : ["cn","nc","eq","ne","bw","bn","in","ni","ew","en"] }

},

colModel : [

{ name: "id", index: "id", width: 20, sorttype: "int" }, { name: "code", index: "code", width: 40, sorttype: "text" },

{ name: "name", index: "name", width: 80, sorttype: "text" }

],

colName : [],

data : mydata,

datatype : "local",

localReader : { cell : "", id : "", repeatitems : true },

height : "auto",

search : true

});

grid.jqGrid("filterToolbar");

})

The problem I found is that search on client side is not working when trying to use data as an array. Aparently, the problem is that the getAccessor method receive, as expr parameter, the colModel name , whilst the obj parameter contains the real array, without any reference to column names. Therefore, the method is not able to extract the value from the obj parameter.

Generally, the most grid examples I've seen uses arrays which contains a JSON structure ([{id: 0, code: "IT001", name: "ITEM1"}, { ... }, ...]). However, I use a more simple format ([ [0, "IT001", "ITEM1"], [ ... ], …]). The reason for using this format is because I manage a huge amount of rows and columns (generally with long names) and I have to optimize the data as much as possible.

I would kwnow if it is a bug, a lag of functionality or if I'm doing something wrong when setting the grid.

Thank's for your attention
