It is just another kind of limitation that people want to place on the data
they are viewing in the grid. It is really like a very limited "Auto Filter"
field in spreadsheet programs.
While I agree the search form is outside the scope of datagird, I think once
you tie to a datasource you HAVE to include addWhere (much more so than limit
and orderBy), and you might as well implement a simple search.
It is a small method that handles adds a lot of functionality.
