ListBox searching by typing characters

[WM Chung]

Hi all,

For a list box web control, does it support searching by typing a string of
characters ? Currently I find that it only support searching by a single
character.

For example, if I have 3 list items "abc", "acz" and "cde". When I type "a",
it goes to "abc". But then when I type "c", it go to "cde", but what I want
is that it can be able to go to "acz".

In short, what I need is that typing "ac" in sequence can search "acz". But
now it go to "abc" then "cde", so it just support searching the leading
character.

Is my need technically feasible ?

Thanks in advance.
