Research direction

Start by locating the hc:combobox implementation and tracing its current StartsWith-style autocomplete filtering. Compare the requested Contains behavior with Syncfusion comboboxAdv, then make the matching mode configurable while preserving the existing behavior as the default. Done means users can choose Contains filtering and autocomplete still works with StartsWith.
