Custom Filtering

sbetts

Can I filter a column using a form element AND prevent that same column from being filtered using the built-in search feature? It seems I can either enable or disable filtering on a column and that's it. What I need is to be able to choose which elements can be filtered using the search feature. I realize I could accomplish the same thing by querying the database again. That may be the only solution but I would be interested to know if I am missing something or if anyone else may have a solution they are willing to share.
