The .NET MAUI Autocomplete control is highly optimized to load and populate suggestions quickly from large amounts of data depending on the user’s input characters. It allows users to select an item from the suggestion list. It displays the selected item in the input view with the text and clear button.
Easily get started with the .NET MAUI Autocomplete using a few simple lines of XAML code, as demonstrated. Also, explore our .NET MAUI Autocomplete Example, which shows you how to render and configure the .NET MAUI Autocomplete control.

</editors:SfAutocomplete>Select a single item from the suggestion list based on the entered text.
Select multiple items from the .NET MAUI Autocomplete entry suggestion list and display the selected items either as tokens, such as in an email address bar, or text separated by a delimiter.
Customizable token representation in the .NET MAUI Autocomplete control allows users to remove an item with its close button.
Delimit the selected items with characters such as ‘$’ for dollar-sign separation, or ‘,’ for traditional comma separation.
When a character is entered, the control searches for items matching the entered character and filters the results, displaying suggestions in a dropdown list.
Starts with provides suggestions to users as they type. Filter matching items faster based on the starting text.
Contains performs a search based on a sequence of characters that the user enters. Filter the matching items containing a specific text.
Apply your own filter logic to display custom filtered items. E.g., in the previous image, Autocomplete filtered the cities based on the country name.
The control dynamically extends its layout based on the input content.
When a character is entered, the control searches for items related to the entered character and filters the results, displaying suggestions in a dropdown list.
With on-demand loading, if there are more filtered items than can be viewed, they won’t be automatically populated. Instead, users can click the Load More button if they need more items.
The .NET MAUI Autocomplete control starts offering matches as soon as users start typing, but supports a provision to set the number of characters required to start matching.
Display hints using the placeholder text. This text will be displayed only if no item is selected or the edit text is empty.
Data-binding support works for all popular data sources and displays data based on the display member path. It automatically generates items from a data-bound collection. The application can be designed in the MVVM pattern.
Users can set the desired text to be displayed when the entered text is not in the suggestion list of the control.
