So my problem is that when I type for example "prod" in the SrchTBox and then click SrchBtn, it will only highlight "Product 2" but not "Product 1" even though they both have "prod" in their item name, how can I highlight any 2 or more relevant items? Also, how can I search items without the problem of worrying about case-sensitivity? That happened when I typed "prod" and it highlights the last item which is "Product 2" but not "Product 1." How can I also fix the bug where the program cannot read the text that I typed? (For example, I typed "rod" in the SrchTBox and a pop-up message shows up and it said, "No match has been found.")

NOTE: The problem is in SrchBtn.

So this also works for numbers as well?

The items in this control are text so the number is text here so yes to that question via email.
