Answer 1

Refer Pass Additional Data to the Action Method

To pass additional parameters to the action use the Data method. Provide the name of a JavaScript function which will return a JavaScript object with the additional data:

A working Search example listed below:

Important: type="button" for the button; And AutoBind(false) for Grid; otherwise, it won’t work

VIEW

@model  IEnumerable
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}




Index
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{ 

    @(Html.Kendo().Grid()    
    .Name("ssgrid222")
    .Columns(columns => {
        columns.Bound(p => p.SampleDescription).Filterable(false).Width(100);
        columns.Bound(p => p.SampleCode).Filterable(false).Width(100);
        columns.Bound(p => p.SampleItems).Filterable(false).Width(100);
    })
    .AutoBind(false)
    .Pageable()
    .Sortable()
    .Scrollable()
    .Filterable()
    .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height:430px;" })
    .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
        .Ajax()
        .PageSize(20)
        .Read(read => read.Action("Orders_Read", "Sample")
        .Data("getAdditionalData"))
     )
  )

 

}

Controller

namespace KendoUIMvcSample.Controllers
{
    public class SampleController : Controller
    {
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            SampleModel AddSample = new SampleModel();
            Sample s1 = new Sample();
            return View(GetSamples());
        }
        public static IEnumerable GetSamples()
        {
            List sampleAdd = new List();
            Sample s12 = new Sample();
            s12.SampleCode = "123se";
            s12.SampleDescription = "GOOD";
            s12.SampleItems = "newone";
            Sample s2 = new Sample();
            s2.SampleCode = "234se";
            s2.SampleDescription = "Average";
            s2.SampleItems = "oldone";
            sampleAdd.Add(s12);
            sampleAdd.Add(s2);
            return sampleAdd;
        }
        public ActionResult Orders_Read([DataSourceRequest]DataSourceRequest request, CustomerSearchModel customerSearchModel)
        {
            string firstParam = customerSearchModel.FirstName;
            return Json(GetOrders().ToDataSourceResult(request));
        }
        private static IEnumerable GetOrders()
        {
            return GetSamples();
        }
    }
    public class CustomerSearchModel
    {
        public string FirstName { get; set; }
        public string LastName { get; set; }
    }
}

Model

namespace KendoUIMvcSample.Models
{
    public class SampleModel
    {
        public List samples;
    }
    public class Sample
    {
        public string SampleDescription { get; set; }
        public string SampleCode { get; set; }
        public string SampleItems { get; set; }
    }
}
