Send filters even when the server filtering is disabled

As its documented on serverFiltering , data parameter contains filter property which follows this schema:

filter[logic]: and
filter[filters][0][field]: name
filter[filters][0][operator]: startswith
filter[filters][0][value]: Jane

When I set serverFiltering to false, data parameter doesn't contain any information about current filter. (See image attached in my first post)

And the only way I have to send the filter option in a different format is querying the DOM input element .

Shouldn't it work the same way? no matter whether filtering is set either client-side or server-side?
