Feature Request: SearchMode = Smart Match

[Martin]

Currently RadGrid has two options for matching: 

MatchAllTerms = AND filter

MatchAnyTerm = OR filter

I'd like a 3rd options : SmartMatch - which should work much like Google searching: 

So, what it should do i make a ranked match by doing an OR filtering and then order by descending of number of matches pr row. 

This way the best matching items will be on top of the grid and the least matching items on the bottom.

This should be fairly easy to implement...

Hello Martin,

Thank you for the provided details.

Your suggestion is meaningful. And after a brief discussion with the development team, we decided that we can log a more generic solution. We can expose several methods of the "search as you type" engine so that the user can override it. This way you can create your own search logic depending on your requirements. You can find the feature request in our Feedback Portal where you can track its status and vote for its implementation.

I have updated your Telerik Points for bringing this to our attention.
