Thanks for the help Tony...

I don't know why I didn't think of that. I think it confused me because right now I am letting it parse it...s o I setup my model and it parses everythign correct grabbing the object (so I didn't think of setting the index as Employees.FirstName).

But it worked like a charm.

Thanks a lot!!!

Hello,

How is your object constructed.

The below is not tested, but maybe if you define the index property in appropriate way it should work.

Suppose you object is myobject : { FirstName: …, }, then the index in colModel can look like this

colModel :[

{ ... index: myobject.FirstName ... }

...

]

Regards

I am passing objects to my grid and using a formatter to display it correctly. The whole grid is running locally so the search should be running through javascript.

For instance I pass in

EmployeeID, FirstName, LastName, Job, etc and use that to create the first column of my table.

The problem I have is when I search... the only thing that it finds is "object" not the fields. How can I write a custom search function so it only searchs FirstName or LastName.

Thanks
