Hi,

I want to set the filter criteria for dhtmlXGrid. Is the search can be performed in client side or it will require to post back to server side. based on the examples, it is performing in the server side only. Could you please confirm that are we able to do it in client side. If yes, can you share the example URL.

Thanks,
nagarajan.P

Starting from dhtmlxgrid 1.5 - there is built in support for client side filtering. 
Please check

The client side filtering works for all modes except of modes with dyn. loading.
For big count of rows ( more than few thousands of rows ) - client side filtering can be too slow, and need to be replaced with server side filtering.
