I know how to use the search feature on JQGrid where you send the request back to the server each time a filter or search is performed. Doing so if you code the php correctly you can perform a LIKE search on the data in the column. For example, if a column contains the string Hello World and you search on world you will get a match. Yet if you use the loadonce option with jqGrid not only will world fail to return a match but hello will as well.

Is there a way to do this natively with the loadonce option in JQGrid?

    I suppose that you use Toolbar Searching with default parameters of the filterToolbar method so the defaultSearch: 'bw' (‘begin with’) will be used. You should use defaultSearch: 'cn' (‘contain’) option to have *text* matching. For example

    $("#list").jqGrid('filterToolbar',
    {stringResult: true, searchOnEnter: false, defaultSearch: 'cn'});

    Moreover you can additionally use ignoreCase: true option of jqGrid to have case insensitive matching.
