Just add a datasource, set property dataset to your dataset zdctable, add a DBgrid to your form and set the property datasource to the datasource.

The only piece of code you will need is in the OnchangeEvent of dcedit

procedure TForm3.dceditChange(Sender: TObject);
begin
   zdctable.FilterOptions:=[foCaseInsensitive]; // if wished
   zdctable.Filtered := Length(dcEdit.Text) > 0;
   if zdctable.Filtered then
      // zdctable.Filter := 'Collector like ' + QuotedStr('%' + dcEdit.Text + '%') 
      zdctable.Filter := 'Collector like ' + QuotedStr('*' + dcEdit.Text + '*') // Zeos- Syntax
   else  zdctable.Filter := '';
end;
