When you submit a form in an Ajax component, only the component will
refresh -- so if you make a filter form contained in the component with the
grid, when the form is submitted, it will reload the whole component. You
can also customize the grid search widget to do whatever you want -- both
"searchable" and "search_widget" take callables, so you can customize the
search behavior. Finally, even if your filter form/widget is outside the
grid component, you can use JS to trigger a reload of the component by
calling the web2py_component() JS function directly.
