Just copy and paste this code bind with mvc model and custom button(CRUD) and search box in toolbar in kendo grid template
<div>
#(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)
.Name("DiagnosisTestGrid")
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(c => c.Description).Title("Description");
columns.Bound(c => c.Cost).Title("Cost");
columns.Bound(c => c.CostingRequired).Title("Cost Req.");
columns.Bound(c => c.DxTestId).ClientTemplate(#"
<a href='/DiagnosisTest/Details/#=DxTestId#' class = 'dialog-window'>Detail</a> |
<a href='/DiagnosisTest/Edit/#=DxTestId#' class = 'dialog-window' >Edit</a> |
<a href='/DiagnosisTest/Delete/#=DxTestId#' class = 'dialog-window'>Delete</a>
").Title("");
})
.ToolBar(toolbar =>
{
toolbar.Template(#<text>
<div class="toolbar">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search" aria-hidden="true"></span></span>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id='FieldFilter' placeholder="Search for...">
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default" type="button"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-refresh" aria-hidden="true"></span></button>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</text>);
})
.Resizable(resizing => resizing.Columns(true))
.Sortable(sorting => sorting.Enabled(true))
.Reorderable(reorder => reorder.Columns(true))
.Pageable()
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.PageSize(5)
.ServerOperation(false)
))
</div>
Script for search box. and filter grid items
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#FieldFilter").keyup(function () {
var value = $("#FieldFilter").val();
grid = $("#DiagnosisTestGrid").data("kendoGrid");
if (value) {
grid.dataSource.filter({ field: "Description", operator: "contains", value: value });
} else {
grid.dataSource.filter({});
}
});
});

Answer 2

I know this is a bit of an old question now but it seems like the accepted answer is quite limited. This is how I got my searchbox added into the toolbar.
.ToolBar(toolBar => toolBar.Template(#<text><input class='k-textbox' value="Search..." onfocus="if (this.value=='Search...') this.value='';" onblur="this.value = this.value==''?'Search...':this.value;" id='searchbox'/></text>))
Then the script
<script type="text/javascript">
function addSearch() {
return { searchbox: $('#searchbox').val() };
}
$('#searchbox').keyup(function () {
$('#gridWorkflows').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.read();
});
</script>
This seems a bit simpler that what you are using currently.
Hope it helps.
