Hello You can do by getting text of the input and can do like this : bs.Filter = dgv1.Columns[1].HeaderText.ToString() + " LIKE '%" + text1.Text + "%'" ; For reference, you can follow few links : https://www.codeproject.com/Questions/755654/how-to-search-in-datagridview-combobox-in-csharp-l https://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/Filter-DataGridView-using-ComboBox-in-Windows-Forms-Application-using-C-and-VBNet.aspx https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18886957/search-in-datagrid-using-combo-box Thanks
