How can i override the autocomplete functionality to search strings that "contain" my word instead of only looking for those which "start with" it ???

string.Contains("search phrase");

Sorry, my question wasn't clear.. i was talking about the auto-complete functionality in a combobox. Thanks anyway, i managed to create my own custom control :)

Yep, you'd have to. Default comboboxes in windows and the web don't support altering this functionality.
