You cannot "search" into a UIComboBox control. The ComboBox select behavior is TypeAhead, so it works using a begins with way.

Even if you try to filter the combobox datasource you will have troubles in displaying other row values, since it's displaymember is user in any FormattingRow event and if the filter removes rows in your dataview, you'll get the value instead of text.

I think you can't do it in the way you want. :(
