To use the listview filter as an autocomplete that taps into remote data sources, you can use the listviewbeforefilter event to dynamically populate a listview as a user types a search query. This is useful when you have a very large data set like cities, zip codes, or products that can't be loaded up-front locally. Use the view source button to see the JavaScript that powers this demo.
If you have a small list of items, you can use the listview filter reveal option to make an autocomplete with local listview data.
After you enter at least three characters the autocomplete function will show all possible matches.
