Question

I am designing an application for Windows Phone 7, and I want to create a UI element where a user can select an item from a large list, by using a text search. Are there any existing controls that provide something like this?

I have found an example of something that does what I want, minus the text search.

Alternatively, is there some sort of other control that provides similar usability — allowing a user to select an item from a list, but providing some way to narrow it down?

Edit:

Is there a list of built-in WP7 controls with documentation?

I think you are looking for an AutoCompleteBox – http://www.windowsphonegeek.com/articles/Data-Binding-the-Windows-Phone-Toolkit-AutoCompleteBox
