Thanks for responses and José that code will be a good help. In my case, parsing the query is quite trivial to extract a search string and the sort order, which is all I needed just now.
After playing around more, it seems to me that Web2py would be really improved with something like Datatables (as well as the sqlform grid). - For small datasets you can feed in all the data at once and use js pagination and searching etc. It's quick and avoids a lot of queries. - For large datasets, the ajax interaction is great. The number of queries that the sqlform grid produces is very inefficient, and that is why I have been experimenting with Datatables in the first place. Indeed Datatables seems to fit really well with Massimo's ideas for the future (I mean making better use of the client-side and reducing bandwidth).
