If you're using a custom itemRenderer, can you have the searchable text for it be derived from the data property? This way you can just set the dataProvider for the dataGrid and search that.

<mx:itemRenderer>
    <mx:Component>
        <ns1:customTextBox searchedText={data.searchedText} text={data.text}/>    
    </mx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>

Then you modify data.searchedText, which is linked to your dataProvider (remember to use an ArrayCollection so it will respond to dataChange events).
