look man if you want to use a "search" in your grid i advise you to use telerik grid (Telerik Controls see them in the internet) it contain all the kind of search via grid in all column (really you can stop them in some columns) see this link or thislink

Write search query in Textbox's Text_Changed Event.
use DataAdapter and Dataset

C#

dim DataAdapter as new OleDbDataAdapter("select * from [TableName] where [ColumnName] like %'" & Textbox1.Text &"'%",con);

Dim ds as DataSet;

adp.fill(ds);

DataGridView.Datasource=ds.Tables(0);

You can easily search the datagridview using a textbox while typing the search words. Try the below simple example. It works perfectly with me.

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
DataView dv = null;

C#

private void Test()
{

C#

dt.Columns.Add("id", typeof(Int32));
dt.Columns.Add("code", typeof(String));

DataRow dr;

C#

dr = dt.NewRow();
dr[0] = 1;
dr[1] = "abc";
dt.Rows.Add(dr);

C#

dr = dt.NewRow();
dr[0] = 2;
dr[1] = "def";
dt.Rows.Add(dr);

C#

dv = dt.DefaultView;
dataGridView1.DataSource = dv;

}

C#

private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 try
 {
    dv.RowFilter = "code like'%" + textBox1.Text.Trim() +  "%'";
 }
 catch { }
}

Thanks for all your help. Here is one of the sulotions.

C#

foreach (DataGridViewRow currentRow in dataGridView1.Rows)
        {
            if (currentRow.Cells["AdminnrID"].Value.ToString() == textBox1.Text)
            {
                currentRow.Selected = true;
                break;
            }

AdminnrID is the column name you want to search
