DropDownList Filter
The DropDownList filter textbox allows users to filter the available items by their text and find the one they need faster. The filtering input is at the top of the dropdown popup.
To enable filtering, set the Filterable parameter to true. The filtering is case insensitive. You can also implement custom (server) filtering and set a data source dynamically through the OnRead event.
Filtering looks in the TextField, and the filter is reset when the dropdown closes.
Filter Operator
The default filter operator is starts with. You can choose a different operator through the FilterOperator parameter that takes a member of the Telerik.Blazor.StringFilterOperator enum.
Performance
By default, the filtering is debounced with 150ms. Configure that with the FilterDebounceDelay parameter of the component.
Placeholder
By default, the filter input in the popup is empty. Set the desired hint in it through the FilterPlaceholder parameter.
