Octavient on custom searching: not equal to empty string

Fri, 16 Sep 2011 17:33:35 +0300

I've found that this works well for custom searching/filtering:

$.extend(postdata,{filters:'',searchField: 'ColumnName', searchOper: 'eq', searchString: 'test search string'});

But what if I want to filter records that don't have an empty string in a particular column? Why doesn't this work?

$.extend(postdata,{filters:'',searchField: 'ColumnName', searchOper: 'ne', searchString: ''});

$.extend(postdata,{filters:'',searchField: 'ColumnName', searchOper: 'ne', searchString: null});
