It seems there might be a bit of confusion. The **grep()** method is not a standard method in jQuery. However, **grep** is a JavaScript function that is part of the native JavaScript **Array** object, not specific to jQuery.

The **Array.prototype.filter()** method is often used in JavaScript to achieve a similar filtering functionality. Here's a simple example:

```plaintext
// Sample array of numbers
var numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];

// Use filter() to get only even numbers
var evenNumbers = numbers.filter(function (number) {
    return number % 2 === 0;
});

console.log(evenNumbers);  // Output: [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
```

In this example, the **filter()** method is used to create a new array containing only the even numbers from the original array.

If you have a specific use case or if you were referring to a particular method within a jQuery plugin or custom code, please provide more details for a more accurate explanation.
