GridColumnMenuCheckboxFilter Search Functionality

[David]

Hi,

The jQuery Grid Checkbox Filter has a search box which can be used to find any entries containing the search string entered (see this demo and type in 'syrup' for example, one result is shown): https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/filter-multi-checkboxes

The GridColumnMenuCheckboxFilter also has a search box, however this appears to only return entries matching or starting with the search string entered (see this demo and type in 'syrup', no results are shown): https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/components/grid/filtering/#toc-column-menu-filter

Is there any way to change the functionality of the GridColumnMenuCheckboxFilter to match the jQuery implementation?

 

Kind regards,

David

Hello, David,

Indeed, currently, the default operator is set to `startswith`.

We agree that this is something that is useful to be modified. I have logged a task to make a prop that will allow setting the search bar's filter operator:

Currently, this can be modified by using a custom search bar and filtering the data programmatically:

This is an example of how it can be done:

I hope this is helpful.
