Hi, I am thinking of implementing a search browser using JqGrid. The reason why I would like to choose JqGrid is that we use it in other places of our product and I like the way I can use it to implement paging etc.

I'd like to be able to format the search results somewhat like Google formats its search results, i.e. in a list.

How would I do this using JqGrid? I've noticed that I can use a grid with one visible column and create HTML on the server side. The HTML is then displayed as each cell's content, and everything looks fine. Creating markup and sending it over JSON is however a quite ugly solution.

I would like to be able to transmit a row of data to JqGrid, and extract the data in a formatter function, and then format the data on the client side, preferably with the plugin jTemplates. Is it possible to get hold of the entire row's data in a cell formatter? If I could do that, I could create the custom HTML on the client side instead.
