How can I filter on key press but not on the filter button click?

[J]

My filters use AutoPostBackOnFilter=true to capture the [Enter] key, as shown here:

This is great for having a quick default filter option, but what about when I want to use a different filter option? What happens right now is essentially two filters to use one. To clarify, let's assume I have things set up so that [Enter] defaults to a "Contains" filter, and I do the following:

1. Enter some text into a filter text box.
2. Click the filter button, because I do not want to do a "Contains" filter. The grid posts because the filter text box has lost focus.
3. The filter drop down has disappeared, so I click it again. Now I can select the filtering option I want, e.g., "Between".

As you can see, I have to do to the default filter every time I want to do an alternative filter option. How can I avoid this?

Thanks.

In case I was unclear, I would still like to be able to hit [Enter] to to default to "Contains", but I would like to be able to select a different filter option (using the filter button) without doing the double filter/post back thing.
