This issue aims to gather feedback on the naming and functionality of the search attribute on combobox element and its associated values (pattern, startswith, includes).

A feature that should be considered is highlighting the matching text pattern, like illustrated with Material UI:

https://mui.com/material-ui/react-autocomplete/#highlights

The easiest way to achieve this would be through rendering a <strong> element around the matching text pattern.

This would eliminate the need for a 3rd party dependency (or just additional JS code) in many cases, as highlighting the matching pattern is a commonly desired functionality, especially in the case of includes. Having this implemented at the platform level in browsers would surely boost performance considerably.
