Include filter descriptors from the SearchBox in the State

I am trying to get the currently filtered data out of the grid as per this KB article and I want to include the searchbox filters. I do not, however, want to use OnRead but I want to get the grid state on a click of a button and get the filters plus the searchbox filters from it instead.

---

ADMIN EDIT

Here is a sample of getting those filters through the OnRead event without using remote operations - all the data is in the view model (the SourceData field) so this does not change the way operations happen compared to not using OnRead.

@using Telerik.DataSource
@using Telerik.DataSource.Extensions

@( new MarkupString(output) )

<br />
<TelerikButton OnClick="@GetFilters">Get Filters</TelerikButton>


<TelerikGrid Data=@GridData TotalCount=@Total OnRead=@ReadItems
             FilterMode=@GridFilterMode.FilterRow Sortable=true Pageable=true EditMode="@GridEditMode.Inline">
    <GridToolBar>
        <GridSearchBox />
    </GridToolBar>
    <GridColumns>
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Employee.ID) />
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Employee.Name) Title="Name" />
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Employee.HireDate) Title="Hire Date" />
        <GridCommandColumn>
            <GridCommandButton Command="Save" Icon="save" ShowInEdit="true">Update</GridCommandButton>
            <GridCommandButton Command="Edit" Icon="edit">Edit</GridCommandButton>
            <GridCommandButton Command="Delete" Icon="delete">Delete</GridCommandButton>
            <GridCommandButton Command="Cancel" Icon="cancel" ShowInEdit="true">Cancel</GridCommandButton>
        </GridCommandColumn>
    </GridColumns>
</TelerikGrid>

@code {
    TelerikGrid<Employee> GridRef { get; set; }
    string output { get; set; }
    public DataSourceRequest CurrentRequest { get; set; }
    void GetFilters()
    {
        output = string.Empty;


        foreach (var item in CurrentRequest.Filters)
        {
            if (item is FilterDescriptor) // filter row
            {
                FilterDescriptor currFilter = item as FilterDescriptor;
                output += $"field: {currFilter.Member}, operator {currFilter.Operator}, value: {currFilter.Value}<br />";
            }

            if (item is CompositeFilterDescriptor) // filter menu
            {
                CompositeFilterDescriptor currFilter = item as CompositeFilterDescriptor;
                output += $"START nested filter: logical operator: {currFilter.LogicalOperator}, details:<br />";
                // there will actually be 1 or 2 only, this showcases the concept and the types
                foreach (FilterDescriptor nestedFilter in currFilter.FilterDescriptors)
                {

                    output += $"field: {nestedFilter.Member}, operator {nestedFilter.Operator}, value: {nestedFilter.Value}<br />";
                }
                output += "END nested filter<br />";
            }
        }
    }




    public List<Employee> SourceData { get; set; }
    public List<Employee> GridData { get; set; }
    public int Total { get; set; } = 0;

    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        SourceData = GenerateData();
    }

    protected async Task ReadItems(GridReadEventArgs args)
    {
        CurrentRequest = args.Request;


        var datasourceResult = SourceData.ToDataSourceResult(args.Request);

        GridData = (datasourceResult.Data as IEnumerable<Employee>).ToList();
        Total = datasourceResult.Total;

        StateHasChanged();
    }

    //This sample implements only reading of the data. To add the rest of the CRUD operations see
    //https://docs.telerik.com/blazor-ui/components/grid/editing/overview

    private List<Employee> GenerateData()
    {
        var result = new List<Employee>();
        var rand = new Random();
        for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
        {
            result.Add(new Employee()
            {
                ID = i,
                Name = "Name " + i,
                HireDate = DateTime.Now.Date.AddDays(rand.Next(-20, 20))
            });
        }

        return result;
    }

    public class Employee
    {
        public int ID { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public DateTime HireDate { get; set; }
    }
}

Even if there is a workaround for this, I still assume that the filters from the searchbox are contained in the state of the grid. This is the expected behaviour when I query the filter descriptors of the grid with Grid.GetState().FilterDescriptors.
