Hello Garrett,

Thank you for the details provided.

I have updated the ticket type to Feature Request. The implementation of the feature will be evaluated based on client voting. You can stay up to date on the status of the request using the following link:

• https://feedback.telerik.com/aspnet-core-ui/1675804-enhance-grid-search-so-that-pre-existing-filters-are-not-removed 

At this time, the Knowledge Base article referenced in my previous response demonstrates the desired behavior. Specifically, it restores the previously applied filters when the search box is cleared.

I hope this information was helpful and feel free to reach out if there are further questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

Hi Garrett,

Thank you for the details provided.

The search functionality relies on the "filter" method of the dataSource, which is also used by the filter menu. This method is the primary way to apply filters to the data source. Whether filtering manually via the menu or programmatically, dataSource.filter() controls how data is shown by specifying the filter conditions. All filtering must be done through this method to ensure the data is displayed correctly. 

In order to achieve the desired result, I would recommend using the approach from the following article:

• https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/knowledge-base/grid-persist-filters-when-search-input-is-used

The approach above is implemented for a Kendo UI Grid. To address this, I have created a sample REPL where I have implemented the same behavior:

I hope this information was beneficial. Feel free to reach out if additional information or assistance is needed.

Kind Regards,
