At http://trirand.com/blog/jqgrid/jqgrid.html, under “New in Version 3.7” > “Column Search”, there is a method explained to search, and it hasn’t worked yet for me. I’ve added:

jQuery("#toolbar").jqGrid('filterToolbar',{stringResult: true,searchOnEnter : false});

and less essential code from the example. My server saw slightly different JSON requests, but no _search=true and no search term, ever.

http://trirand.com/blog/jqgrid/jqgrid.html also gives an incomplete example of server-side code. The SQL statement is given in the example PHP:

$SQL = "SELECT item_id, item, item_cd FROM items ".$where." ORDER BY $sidx $sord LIMIT $start , $limit";

but, while $sidx, $sord, $start, and $limit all have code to define them, $where is not defined (or referenced) anywhere else on the page.

How can I get a column search like the page documents, where my server is being hit by the appropriate requests?

    The filterToolbar method should be called on the same element which you use to define the grid. Look at the working example used it.

    I can’t help you with the PHP part of your question, because I don’t use PHP myself. Nevertheless the demo files from the jqGrid download page seems to contain some PHP code examples which could be helpful for you.
