You can set the FilterMode to custom and set a ItemFilter predicate to something similar to:

autoBox.FilterMode = AutoCompleteFilterMode.Custom;
autoBox.ItemFilter = new AutoCompleteFilterPredicate<object>((searchText, obj) => 
                    (obj as string).Where(x=>Char.IsUpper(x))
                                   .SequenceEqual(searchText.ToUpper()));

Set the item filter property as described here, there is an example at the bottom.

You can implement your logic like they have implemented the function SearchEmployees.

Simply add a check if a string contains an upper case letter of the input return true else return false.
