I want users to be able to filter grid data without using the intrinsic search box.

I have created two input fields for date (from and to) and now need to tell the grid to adopt this as its filter and then to request new data.

Forging a server request for grid data (bypassing the grid) and setting the grid's data to be the response data wont work - because as soon as the user tries to re-order the results or change the page etc. the grid will request new data from the server using a blank filter.

I cant seem to find grid API to achieve this - does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
