Hello,

The search function stopped working for me also. Nothing happened when pressing the search button. The grid wasn't reloaded with “_search=true”. After a while I figured out that it was because I had upgraded jQuery to ver 1.3 (instead of 1.2.6). Everything is ok again when switching back to 1.2.6.
(I'm using jqGrid 3.4 beta 1).

/T

I've tried the latest release here (beta) with 1.3.1 of jquery and am seeing this as well.

Via the magic of firebug I can tell you that when searchGrid is invoked, the following error displays: jQuery(selector).jqm(o).jqmShow()

I think I have the last release installed now, verses the beta, but it is late, I'm tired.
