I am currently trying to intercept the search text provided by the igCombo on autocomplete remote filtering.

This works, (below ) although it seems that when I tab away from the combo box a UI event clears my selection.

Json data totals seems to get lost when you customize the Query on the web server (i.e. ...,{":totals:":"1:8"}]

I am assuming this is a common issue with the combo box, because it's pretty standard to want to customize the query 
based on the text provided in the combo box.

Is there a way to prevent the combo box from bieng cleared out during the "blur" event?

[ComboDataSourceAction]
        [ActionName("filtering-data")]
        public ActionResult ComboGetData()
        {
            
            var mainQuery = products.AsQueryable();
 
            NameValueCollection col = this.HttpContext.Request.QueryString;
            string filterName = col["filter(FullName)"];
            if (filterName != null)
            {
                string filterArgs = filterName.Substring(9).Replace(")", String.Empty).ToLowerInvariant();
                mainQuery =
                    mainQuery.Where(
                        p =>
                        p.Name.ToLowerInvariant().StartsWith(filterArgs)
                        || p.Name2.ToLowerInvariant().StartsWith(filterArgs)).AsQueryable();
            }
 
            var ds = mainQuery;
 
            return View(ds);
        }

Any help will be appreciated.

I managed to get the correct behaviour in the UI during filtering which is why I thought I had the solution as per (http://ko.infragistics.com/community/forums/t/72010.aspx) but due to a UI event clearing out the control when it loses focus I am back to square 1.
