How to remove grid's filter programmatically

[Wonderer]

Hello,

I'm wondering if what I'm doing to remove the grid's filter is correct or if there's a right approach.

Here's the code

var filter = { };
grid.dataSource.filter(filter);

You are doing it right.
I'd implemented the kendoAutoComplete to search for text within the grid and after emptying the search textbox I would do like so

myGrid.data("kendoGrid").dataSource.filter({});

how about if I want to remove grid's group programatically?  Is it the same?

Thank you, I thought I'm not doing it the right way, so now I'm having issue with that :)

I have a search box that triggers to filter the grid. The problem is happening when the grid becomes empty because there are no results based on the keyword entered on the search box.

Supposedly, grid must returned its original records when the search box is empty but its not. When doing 
var filter = { };
grid.dataSource.filter(filter); 

The grid is still empty also when checking the grid on firebug. It just say grid.dataSource {...} without any on it. Do you know what causing the problem?

Try
grid.data("kendoGrid").dataSource.filter(filter); 

The sample code I posted before was for exactly that purpose.
So I had 

var myGrid = $("#myGrid").kendoGrid({
	//set up grid data source and other configurations here.
});

And then later for the search textbox

$("#myGridSearch").kendoAutoComplete({
        change: function () {
	var value = this.value();
	if(value){
		//set up filter here
	}	
	else{
		myGrid.data("kendoGrid").dataSource.filter({});
	}
});

 I haven't tried it through .Net code. I prefer JS to do client side filtering & search. :)
