Number of records to show that are before and after the matched record Once the search is applied, sometimes it is useful to know what records are before andr after the searched record (to know the context). This property can be set during object creation: let grid = new w2grid({ name: 'grid', showExtraOnSearch: 1, columns : [ { field: 'recid', text: 'ID', size: '50px' }, { field: 'lname', text: 'Last Name', size: '30%' }, { field: 'fname', text: 'First Name', size: '30%' }, { field: 'email', text: 'Email', size: '40%' }, { field: 'sdate', text: 'Start Date', size: '120px' }, { field: 'sdate', text: 'End Date', size: '120px' } ] }); Or any time during run-time: w2ui.grid.showExtraOnSearch = 1;
