Questions about search box behaviour in Excel Like Filter

Hi,

I have 2 questions about the behaviour of search box in Excel Like Filter

 
1- Search via search box in Excel Like Filter cancels out any previously selected filter if they do not match to current search phrase. For example:
Navigate to https://blazor.syncfusion.com/demos/datagrid/excel-like-filter/
Click search icon near Customer ID and select only ALFKI and click OK. Grid is filtered.
Then click  search icon near Customer ID again and write "b" to search box, and select any option and click OK again. Grid is filtered only by the latest selection.
Is there a way to keep both the previous and new selected options? (Through search box, not custom filter)

2- Similar to first question, write "A" to search box and select "ANATR".
Do not click Ok, change the search phrase to "AN" so that the item list changes but ANATR is still on the list.
ANATR's selection is cleared. 
Is it possible to keep the selections while changing the search phrase?


Thanks & best regards

We have checked your query and we would like to inform that by default when we enter the search phrase all the checkbox will be selected based on the entered input in searchbox and in the filtered Grid when we enter the search phrase only the filtered checkbox will be selected.


Kindly get back to us if you have further queries.


Regards,

Monisha
