I have an issue with the advanced search of the jqGrid…. From what I get, the advanced search dialog box is only created once, when searchGrid is called.

This means that if I add a column via columnChooser after I already opened the advanced searchdialog once, the added column is missing the next time I open the advanced search dialog… I suppose this is the normal behaviour….

So my question is: Is there any standard function I can use to update/recreate the advanced search dialog everytime I call the searchGrid without loosing all the previously entered search criterias etc.?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I suppose you can fix the problem by usage of recreateFilter: true option of searching dialog. You can set the option as default setting by usage

$.extend($.jgrid.search, {recreateFilter: true});

Look at the answer or another one for details.
