Hello Sharma,

You can go through the following online demo link which demonstrates how to filter the grid records after typing a string sequence in a textbox and then hit a button beside that textbox/press the [ENTER] key from the keyboard which is quiet similar to your scenario.
Search on key press/button click

Thanks
