If you just want to mimic you could use doscroll method like this :

* Textbox.lostfocus
=seek(trim(this.value),tTable,cIndex)
thisform.domimic = .t.
thisform.grid1.setfocus() && Needed to fire afterrowcolchange

*Grid.afterrowcolchange
LPARAMETERS nColIndex
if thisform.domimic
	thisform.lockscreen = .t.
	do while this.relativerow > 1     && Do while we are not on first row
		this.doscroll(1)          && Scroll down
	enddo
	this.refresh
	thisform.domimic = .f.            && So other movement in grid doesn't scroll
	thisform.lockscreen = .f.
	thisform.text2.setfocus()   && Whatever the next control to search textbox
endif
