You can toggle matching options highlighting on and off and customizе the default filtering behavior.

CollectionView Enhancements: Multiple New Features

With the 2024 Q3 release, we’re shipping the Telerik UI for .NET MAUI CollectionView with a ton of new features to handle all essential usage scenarios. Newly added functionality includes:

• Header and footer templates to position content above and below the list of items
• Drag and drop functionality that can be used for item reordering
• Manual and automatic load-on-demand functionality used for loading large data sets
• Grid Layout: An option to visualize items into rows or columns
• Item swipe functionality that provides the ability to perform specific actions on the item

The component is now almost at parity with the Telerik UI for .NET MAUI ListView and we recommend that you start using the CollectionView in future projects and consider migrating the .NET MAUI ListView to CollectionView.

See the .NET MAUI CollectionView documentation
