Description of problem:
What's the best method to programmatically read what an end user has put in for search values in columns with the column control?
E.g. I have a column that's named 'name' and an end user has set a filter that only include names that contains henrik, how to extract that the filter contains is active with the data 'henrik'?

At the moment there is no defined public API for ColumnControl to set filters I'm afraid. It is something I'd like to add, but it is unlikely to happen until at least next year unless it is sponsored.
That said, have a look at this discussion which notes how a filter can be set using DOM methods directly.

Ok thanks. Will look into different other options and the thread you linked to. Will think about sponsorship as well, but I think we'll find another solution for our use case that we can implement rather sooner than wait for a formal implementation. Thanks
