Search ahead with Multi Select filter

[David]

In this demo,

https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/filter-multi-checkboxes

 

The multi select for the product filter has a search ahead textbox for the client operations but not on the server operation.  Are there any example of the search text box implemented for the server side?

Hello David,

Please take a look at this Kendo UI Dojo by Progress illustrating how to add a search box into a filterable column.

Here is the how columns.filterable.search is used in the dojo:

columns: [
         {
           field: "FirstName",
           title: "First Name",
           filterable: {
             multi: true ,
             search: true,
             dataSource: {
               transport: {
                 read: {
                   url: telerikWebServiceBase + "Employees/Unique",
                   dataType: "jsonp",
                   data: {
                     field: "FirstName"
                   }
                 }
               }
             }
           },
           width: "220px"
         },
...
]

Hope this helps!
