How can I set the "Starts with" value to be the default filter for telerik asp.net mvc grid?

Here is the solution for u :                                    

        }

- First, add this onload event to your ajax grid :

  .ClientEvents(events => events.OnLoad("onload"))

- Then, add this javascirpt code block :

function onload() {

            $('#Grid .t-grid-filter').click();

            $('#Grid .t-filter-options').hide();

            $('#Grid .t-filter-options').find('select option[value="substringof"]')

                                        .attr('selected', true);

        }

-          First, add this onload event to your ajax grid :

      .ClientEvents(events => events.OnLoad("onload"))

-          Then, add this javascript code block :

function onload() {

            $('.t-grid-filter').click();

            $('.t-filter-options').hide();

            $('.t-filter-options').find('select option[value="startswith"]')

                                        .attr('selected', true);

        }

or you can mess around with telerik.grid.min.js :)

seach for filterStringNe and make sure they are in this order:
filterStringNe: "Is not equal to", filterStringSubstringOf: "Contains", filterStringStartsWith: "Starts with", filterStringEndsWith: "Ends with", filterStringEq: "Is equal to",

that way "Contains" becomes the default item in the filter
