Sync jqGrid filterToolbar and searchGrid filters

Question

I am using a jqGrid with both filterToolbar and searchGrid.

When I perform a search using the filterToolbar and then open the searchGrid window, the filters come fil

You can try to add recreateFilter: true searching option. To be able to find the exact reason of the problem you should use jquery.jqGrid.src.js instead of jquery.jqGrid.min.js on your demo page.

I recommend you additionally to use refreshSerchingToolbar function which I suggested in the answer. One more answer with the demo could be also interesting for you. It show how to save last searching filter (and some other information) in the localStorage. At the visit of the same page the previous used searching filter will be applied.

UPDATED: It's a little the matter of the tasted, but I personally use the settings

$.extend($.jgrid.search, {
    multipleSearch: true,
    multipleGroup: true,
    recreateFilter: true,
    closeOnEscape: true,
    closeAfterSearch: true,
    overlay: 0
});

or some more advanced version as my default Advanced Searching settings. The recreateFilter: true like recreateForm: true for the form editing are always my default settings. I suggested many times (see here for example) to make the settings as jqGrid defaults, but the suggestings stayed unanswered. Tony (the developer of jqGrid) has another opinion on the subject.
