how to implement text search functionality like report viewer control search in gridview?

Question

Kindly let me know how can i implement the search functionality on a gridview the one same like in report viewer control that takes you to the searched text.

I have searched a lot, but no luck.

Any suggestion is welcome.Just need to be pointed in the correct direction.

UPDATE

Also i just had a quick idea looking at the browsers search, example: press ctrl+f and the browsers find tab appears, works the exact way i want it to. Can i force it to appears on the page, when using the website? OR implement it in the code something like that?

Thank you

Answer 3

The best solution i can think of so far is to run the browser search functionality, CTRL +F.And the search in there works best like a report viewer control going into the gridview and finding out the information for me. To me it suited best for my requirements.Still interested to know of any other solution.
