Sencha touch 2 filterby() not updating records - touch

Question

I have a nested list on one of the pages of a Tabbed Panel app that is pulling data from "offices.json"
I should like to be able to filter this list when a user clicks on a toolbar button. However my filterBy() function doesn't update the store and the list of offices I can see, even though I can see in the console it is iterating the records and finding a match. What am I doing wrong?
(And yes I have tried doing s.load() both before and after the filterBy to no avail!)
toolbar:{
items:[{
text: 'Near you',
id: 'btnNearYou',
xtype: 'button',
handler: function() {
s = Ext.StoreMgr.get('offices');
s._proxy._url = 'officesFLAT.json';
console.log("trying to filter");
s.filterBy(function(record) {
var search = new RegExp("Altrincham", 'i');
if(record.get('text').match(search)){
console.log("did Match");
return true;
}else {
console.log("didnt Match");
return false;
}
});
s.load();
}
}]
For the record I'm defining my store like so:
store: {
type: 'tree',
model: 'ListItem',
id: 'offices',
defaultRootProperty: 'items',
proxy: {
type: 'ajax',
root: {},
url: 'offices.json',
reader: {
type: 'json',
rootProperty: 'items'
}
}
}

No need to recreate the regex each time, cache it outside.
You can simplify the code a lot (see below).
Why are you calling load directly after? That's going to send it to the server and it will just retrieve the same dataset.
toolbar: {
items: [{
text: 'Near you',
id: 'btnNearYou',
xtype: 'button',
handler: function() {
s = Ext.StoreMgr.get('offices');
s._proxy._url = 'officesFLAT.json';
var search = /Altrincham/i;
s.filterBy(function(record) {
return !!record.get('text').match(search);
});
}
}]
}
