jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

Hi All

I am trying to implement the custom search across the columns of the grid and i am half way through using the example http://langui.sh/2010/03/04/jq.....ve-search/ ,

Problems :-

1) its searching on the current page instead of across the pages in the jgqrid(as the data is loadonce), i can search across the pages using set rownum with 10000 values which makes search slow if the jqrid rows increases and its not cleaner solution.

2) I try to implement the search using the filterGrid, but no luck as such where i can run the search as filterToolbar search functionality provides.

Is there any way to achieve the local custom search across the pages and with the search results in across the pages and i can reload the grid as if we reload it it populates the data with original dataset and the search results data.

Thanks in advance
