Hello, Bo,   

In order to host a RadGridView in a RadPopupEditor's container and achieve filtering considering all the cells in the grid, it is suitable to use the custom filtering behavior that RadGridView offers. 

In the CustomFiltering event you can control whether a row is visible or not by iterating all Cells in the row and checking each cell's value. If at least one cell contains the entered text, mark the row as visible. Additional information how the custom filtering works is available here: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/gridview/filtering/custom-filtering

I would also recommend you to have a look at our Demo application >> GridView >> Filtering >> Custom Filtering example which is quite useful on this topic. It demonstrates how to filter by using the text in an external RadTextBox. You can use a similar approach considering the editable part of RadPopupEditor.

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
