Search as you Type

Question

Is it possible to search the Blazor data grid as you type? By default, results are only searched when pressing the search icon or by hitting enter. I'd like it to automatically search after a short debounce delay.

Hi Matthew, Greetings from syncfusion support. We have validated your query and you can achieve your requirement by using the Custom Toolbar feature of Grid component. Using custom toolbar we can render the SfTextBox control and by using the ValueChange event of SfTextBox, we have filtered the Grid using Search() method. Please refer the below code snippet and the sample for your reference. .. .. @code{ public void OnInput(InputEventArgs args) { this.DefaultGrid.Search(args.Value); } } Sample – https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/157241-1626164029 Documentation Link for reference : https://blazor.syncfusion.com/documentation/datagrid/tool-bar/#custom-toolbar https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/cref_files/blazor/Syncfusion.Blazor~Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids.SfGrid%601~Search.html Please get back to us if you need further assistance.

Hi Jeevakanth SP,The solution proposed works, however it adds an additional strip at the top of the grid header which decreases the screen view (unused space) not good for the UI in my opinion.  My question is:  Is there a way to add the auto-complete functionality to the "Search" box within the Toolbar?
