In the request sent to the server, the filter is going to have three parts

{“groupOp”:”AND”,”rules”:[{“field”:”SUMMARY”,”op”:”eq”,”data”:”test”}]}

field = column index we are searching on

op = operator

data = value in the box that we are filtering on

i ran a couple of tests using a text filter in my filtertoolbar and it seems to be working. whatever the FIRST value in your “sopt” array in colmodel is, it will be sent as the “op” in the filter in the ajax request.
