I'm using jqgrid and i need to update a graph (jquery flot) based on the content of the grid.
My question is, is there an event that i can catch each time a search is preformed??
I've been reading the documentation on jqgrid but so far i just can update the graph when the grid is created not when a search is done.
Any help you can give me would be nice.
Thanks in advance.
It can a little depend on which form of searching you use. The event onInitializeSearch can be a good choice. If it helps you not, you should append your question with more information which searching way you use (Toolbar Searching, Single field searching, Advanced Searching or Custom Searching) and at what moment (before, after ...) you need to receive an event.
Moreover probably you need catch not really the search event, but the loadComplete event for example. On every reloading of the grid and on every searching the event handler are called at the end of processing.

I have a subgrid on my form which I assign a dynamically generated fetchxml query using javascript. When the user clicks on the subgrid's "pop out" button, the query is lost and it displays the default view for that entity.
The user needs to be able to perform multi selection and bulk editing. As far as I know this is not possible for subgrids in CRM 2013 upwards. Is there a way to retain the query when it is popped out?
There's no supported way to interact with a popped out grid. If you started digging into the client side application code, you might be able to find a hook to the new window, but doing so would be unsupported, liable to break, and I wouldn't recommend it.
I was going to suggest hiding that pop-out button on your entity's sub-grid altogether before re-reading that your users need to use the popped out grid for bulk edit.
In that case your best option will be to do ditch the JS and move to a RetrieveMultiple plugin against the sub-entity. RetrieveMultiple plugins should be generally avoided, but from what it sounds like in your case, it's your only option.
And, just to be thorough, are you positive you need dynamic fetch for the sub-grid? Is there any way you could come up with a view that would get close enough to your requirement, even if it's not perfect?
Update:
Based on the additional information you provided in your comment, I can only think of two options:
Implement a custom grid--or modify one of the free ones out there--that allows multi-select and bulk edit
Your custom web app takes the user's criteria, creates a personal view (entity: userquery) for the user and saves it to the database, then your JS on the form sets the grid to that view.
You can do that liks this:
document.getElementById("someGridId").control.SetParameter("viewtype", "4230"); // 4230 is the objecttypecode for userquery
document.getElementById("someGridId").control.SetParameter("viewid", "{11310965-0306-E611-80E5-3863BB36DD08}");
Doing this actually does make the popped out grid load the personal view, but in my tests just now the grid gets upset if you try to refresh it.
This approach has obvious downsides: 1) You have to come up with a way to clean up the personal views that get generated 2) the grid might break on refresh 3) it's unsupported and liable to break on an update.
Still worth considering, I suppose.
A more supported way instead of using unsupported getElementById is to hook a plugin to multiple retrieve of the entity and amend the query in there

How do you force a Kendo grid to filter data after every character is typed, as in after every letter, not just when I press enter button?
I noticed that Kendo sends requests after every character typed, but without page size, and this request is used for autocomplete. I want to change that to bind this data not to autocomplete, but to the main grid instead.
I am using built in filters, one for each column.
Sorry for later response, I didn't have much time. Anyway as I mentioned in comment, this functionallity is not supported by Telerik. So you have to create everything by yourself.
In following example I have used filterMenuInit event which is fired after you click on filter icon (and only once!). In that event I have modified filter elements to add custom classes and ids. Then in jQuery I am catching keyUp events and adding items into filter.
Here is small example. I have implemented only equals filter, so you will have to do some modifications. But I hope it can help you in next work.

I have perused the jqGrid wiki and found two pages which might help you.
This page talks about custom searching and its parameters. Notice that you can bind to the beforeSearch event and fire your own function, and parse the search text to accomplish whatever you want.
There is also toolbar searching, which allows custom filtering on each field in your data table. Depending on your solution, you may want to pursue this path. Again, this option also has events that you can bind to if the default search options don't fit your need.
I need to perform a search action on a jqgrid that has local data but the values for the query would be coming from another ui element in our application not the jqgrid toolbar's search dialog nor header filter ux.
I looked at the api and did not see any way to hook into the search/filter action programmatically. Is there a way to do this? I found some info on search templates for predefined searchs is there a way to run a search template from the grid api so it performs the filter.
What you need to do is just to add in the postData the searching filter (filters for example) and set search parameter of jqGrid. Then you can reload the grid. As the results the user will see the filtered grid.
Look at the old answer. I hope you will find all what you need here.
hast anybody already integrated a star ranking plugin (eg. http://www.wbotelhos.com/raty/) into jqgrid? What is the best way to do this?
Thanks

When I have done custom cells, I have either hooked into one of the grid events (afterInsertRow) or if using gridview:true then gridComplete or loadComplete.
Then simply use the setCell method to insert the html into the row.
