This feature should work in the same way like the IncSearch feature already works, but the search should be performed by the entire cell's text, but not from the begining of display text. All matches should be highlighted (optionally).

I wonder if you can tell me when this feature will be available? My users are crying out for this functionality.
Thanks
Sorry, we cannot give you any estimation yet. This feature is still being considered for future implementation.
I have attached the 2 source files that needed to be changed to allow this feature to work. There is only one section within each of the files that needs added. The code is marked with //TK.
If you were to add a property setting somewhere against the grid then this code could check to see which method of searching was required.
Hopefully you will add this to the next version as i am sure it would be useful for other people as well.
If you need any further information please let me know.
Hi Tony,
Thank you for sharing your solution with us. We appreciate your input. This information will be useful to other programmers who may need a similar functionality.
I have forwarded this report to our developers and they will review your implementation. In the meantime, I should mention that we cannot give you any promises regarding the future of this functionality. Yes, the idea does have merit and perhaps, it will be implemented soon. However, we have a very long TO-DO list for next updates and thus, we have to carefully select which features to implement first.
Thanks,
Serge
