The [manual page](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/components/perspective-components/perspective-input-palette/perspective-dropdown) shows an example of an autocomplete operation using the built-in search param.

It looks like you'll need to add a transform on your `options` property, either with a script (easiest but least performant) or an expression. Phil's [Integration Toolkit](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/automation-professionals-integration-toolkit-module/74934) module offers high-performance iteration abilities as expressions.
