Customize Search Algorithm

This sample demonstrates 2 unique searching beahivors, The first AutoComplete uses the default search. The second AutoComplete uses the itemsSourceFunction property to customize the serach algorithm. Instead of looking for items that contain the user input, it looks for items that start with it, like the ComboBox.
