You can overwrite the body table html to show your message. Use this to do it:

loadComplete: function() {
                if ($('#Grid').getGridParam('records') === 0) {
                    oldGrid = $('#GridIdb2 tbody').html();
                    $('#Grid tbody').html("
No records found
");
                }
                else
                    oldGrid = "";
             }

Use the oldGrid var as an auxiliar to save what the jqgrid had before you changed; before submit a new search set the old value:

if(oldGrid!=""){
    $("#Grid tbody").html(oldGrid);
}
