When the 'Suggest' or 'SuggestAppend' values of the AutoCompleteMode enumeration are used, the dropdown automatically appears as the user types, displaying only the items that meet a certain criteria, and filtering out the rest. Properties which use the AutoSuggestFilterMode enumeration determine that criteria; i.e., whether a 'StartsWith' or 'Contains' condition is applied to the filtering mechanism.
Note: When the 'Contains' setting is used by the EditorWithCombo embeddable editor, the AutoCompleteMode value of 'SuggestAppend' resolves to 'Suggest', i.e, the auto-completion functionality is disabled, since text selection is not applicable when the items being displayed might not have the same run of characters in the beginning of their display text.
