Try IsTextSearchEnabled="True" TextSearch.TextPath="<PropertyName>" where <PropertyName> is a property in the items of your ItemsSource.

I think you can resolve your problem by removing IsReadOnly property. You set it to true, so ComboBox doesn`t accept any input. If you don`t want an empty item as a first ComboBox item, you can set SelectedIndex="0".
