Searching

Searching is a basic query technique in the Data Manager. It is used to filter the records from the entire data source based on the search key parameter.

cshtml

@Html.EJ().DataManager("FlatData").URL("http://mvc.syncfusion.com/Services/Northwnd.svc/Orders/").Adaptor(AdaptorType.ODataAdaptor).CrossDomain(true)

	@(Html.EJ().Grid<MVCdoc.OrdersView>("FlatGrid")
		.DataManagerID("FlatData")
		.Query("new ej.Query().search(4, 'EmployeeID').take(5)")
		.Columns(col =>
		{
			col.Field("OrderID").HeaderText("Order ID").IsPrimaryKey(true).TextAlign(TextAlign.Right).Width(75).Add();
			col.Field("CustomerID").HeaderText("Customer ID").Width(80).Add();
			col.Field("EmployeeID").HeaderText("Employee ID").TextAlign(TextAlign.Right).Width(75).Add();
			col.Field("Freight").HeaderText("Freight").TextAlign(TextAlign.Right).Width(75).Format("{0:C}").Add();
			col.Field("ShipCity").HeaderText("Ship City").Width(110).Add();
		})	

	)

Result of above code example is illustrated as follows.
