Exclude Column from Search
GridViewBoundColumnBase provides a mechanism for it to be excluded from the search mechanism. This can be achieved through its IsSearchable property. It is available as of R2 2018. Its default value is True, meaning that the column will be included in the search operation. When set to False the column will not take part in the searching.

Example 1: Setting the IsSearchable property to False
<telerik:RadGridView Grid.Row="0"
ItemsSource="{Binding Clubs}"
ShowSearchPanel="True"
AutoGenerateColumns="False"
GroupRenderMode="Flat">
<telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}"
IsSearchable="False"/>
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding City}"/>
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Established}"
Header="Est"
DataFormatString="{}{0:yyyy}"/>
<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding StadiumCapacity}"
Header="Stadium"
DataFormatString="{}{0:N0}"/>
</telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
</telerik:RadGridView>
