Search in the middle of a column by default in jqGrid with toolbar search

Question

After reading the jqGrid wiki (and taking example from: Case insensitive search in jqGrid including hidden fields), I cannot find what I want to do.

Is there any se

Answer 1

$(document).ready(function() {
  colNamesData = [ 'Description']

  {name:'description',index:'description', width:130, sorttype:"text", search:true, editable:true, edittype:"textarea", editoptions: {rows:"5",cols:"25",maxlength:"255"}, stype:'text', searchoptions:{sopt:['cn', 'nc', 'bw', 'bn', 'ew', 'en']}},

$("#description_table").jqGrid({
      datatype: "local", 
      height: "auto",
      autowidth: true,
      ignoreCase: true,
      colNames: colNamesData, 
      colModel: colModelHash,
      pager: '#pager',
      rowNum:10,
      rowList:[10,25,50,100],
      sortname: 'date',
      sortorder: 'desc',
      viewrecords: true,
      editurl:"/url_name.json", 
      caption: 'Description'
 data:<%= raw @jqgrid_table.to_json %>
   });

   jQuery("#description_table").jqGrid('navGrid','#pager',{del:false,add:true,edit:false},{}, {modal: true,afterSubmit:processAddEdit,recreateForm:true, afterComplete:reloadJqGrid}, {modal: true}, {multipleSearch:true});  

Now if your text contains "here i go" and if you search "go", it will surely search, it works for me.

Give a try and reply if it doesn't.
