I have loaded up saved grid settings with a filter such as col state = 'Maine'.
I have the grid searchable fields set to only a specific column.
.Search(s =>
{s.Field(o => o.ClientName, "contains");
})
Now when i apply the search, its blowing away the state filter criteria and pulling back many more records then it should.
Now i did read this article https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/knowledge-base/grid-persist-filters-when-search-input-is-used
Im prepared to go that route if its required, but what's the point of specifying search fields? Just to tell it how to search the column? Does anyone have a less painful solution then the link above?
the answer was to use the article linked above.
