Try:

        search_options = [] #see gluon/sqlhtml. where it is defined as

search_options = search_options or {
            'string': ['=', '!=', '<', '>', '<=', '>=', 'starts with',
'contains', 'in', 'not in'],
            'text': ['=', '!=', '<', '>', '<=', '>=', 'starts with',
'contains', 'in', 'not in'],
            'date': ['=', '!=', '<', '>', '<=', '>='],
            'time': ['=', '!=', '<', '>', '<=', '>='],
            'datetime': ['=', '!=', '<', '>', '<=', '>='],
            'integer': ['=', '!=', '<', '>', '<=', '>=', 'in', 'not in'],
            'double': ['=', '!=', '<', '>', '<=', '>='],
            'id': ['=', '!=', '<', '>', '<=', '>=', 'in', 'not in'],
            'reference': ['=', '!='],
            'boolean': ['=', '!=']}

        fields = [fields you want to be searched]
 and then in your grid definition:

                   form = SQLFORM.grid(db....,
                                search_widget = lambda fields:
SQLFORM.search_menu(fields, search_options),
                                )
