    gridView.OptionsFind.AlwaysVisible = true;
    gridView.OptionsFind.Behavior = DevExpress.XtraEditors.FindPanelBehavior.Search;
    gridView.ApplyFindFilter("chai");
}

VB.NET

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    Me.productsTableAdapter.Fill(Me.nwindDataSet.Products)

    gridView.OptionsFind.AlwaysVisible = True
  gridView.OptionsFind.Behavior = DevExpress.XtraEditors.FindPanelBehavior.Search
    gridView.ApplyFindFilter("chai")
End Sub
