ExtJS: Filter gridpanel, but not the store?

Question

Is it possible to filter a grid panel but leaving the store untouched ?

I need to be able to find a record in the store, so if a stored is filtered as I am hiding the information in my grid then I would be able to get a record from filterd store ? If I clear the filter then the gridpanel would show items that I wanted hidden.

What is the correct way of doing this?

Answer 1

There is a snapshot property of store. It holds original store when you make some changes on store values. This is the related doc.

Answer 2

No longer supported in 6.0, may have already been removed in 5.0
