Here is what I finally end up doing.

in list.gsp I added at the top:

<style type="text/css">
.filterBar {
margin-top:1px;
float:right;
vertical-align: middle;
}
</style>

and inserted this after <body>

<g:form controller="item" action="search">
<label>Filter:
<g:textField name="filter" value="${filter}"/>
<g:submitButton name="search" value="go"/>
<g:submitButton name="search" value="clear"/>
</label>
</g:form>

Then change the sortableColumn and paginate button as follow

<tr>
<g:sortableColumn property="id" title="Id" params="${params}"/>
<g:sortableColumn property="sku" title="Sku" params="${params}"/>
<g:sortableColumn property="description" title="Description"
params="${params}" />
</tr>

<div class="paginateButtons">
<g:paginate total="${Item.count()}" params="${params}"/>
</div>

however there is a bug in sortableColumn. If you include params you need to
add at line 458 of
grails-1.0.3/src/groovy/org/codehaus/groovy/grails/plugins/web/taglib/RenderTagLib.groovy

linkParams.sort = property

because sort is already defined in params. If you don't overwrite it in
linkParams then all your column will have the same sort property.

I haven't found yet the way to make that change sticky. (modifying that groovy
file in place doesn't seem to be seen by the runtime) So in the meantime I
created a new taglib with that change and things are looking great

I am now going to try to make it a template

Hope that helps
