Set the SearchTextParseMode property to one of the following values to specify how the Grid component treats search words.

Run Demo: Grid - Search Box

GroupWordsByAnd

The search words are treated as individual conditions grouped by the AND logical operator. Only the records that match all of the conditions are shown.

In the following code snippet, the Grid component finds every row that contains both Maria and Anders in its cells:

Razor

<DxGrid Data="@Data" 
        ShowSearchBox="true" 
        SearchTextParseMode="GridSearchTextParseMode.GroupWordsByAnd" 
        SearchText="maria anders">
    <Columns>
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="ContactName"/>
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="City"/>
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="Country"/>
    </Columns>
</DxGrid>

GroupWordsByOr

The search words are treated as individual conditions grouped by the OR logical operator. Records that match at least one of these conditions are shown.

In the following code snippet, the Grid component finds every row that contains Maria or Anders in its cells:

Razor

<DxGrid Data="@Data" 
        ShowSearchBox="true" 
        SearchTextParseMode="GridSearchTextParseMode.GroupWordsByOr"
        SearchText="maria anders">
    <Columns>
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="ContactName"/>
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="City"/>
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="Country"/>
    </Columns>
</DxGrid>

ExactMatch

The search words are not treated separately. Only records that match the search text exactly are shown.

In the following code snippet, the Grid component finds every row that contains the Maria Anders phrase in a cell:

Razor

<DxGrid Data="@Data" 
        ShowSearchBox="true" 
        SearchTextParseMode="GridSearchTextParseMode.ExactMatch"
        SearchText="maria anders">
    <Columns>
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="ContactName"/>
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="City"/>
        <DxGridDataColumn FieldName="Country"/>
    </Columns>
</DxGrid>
