I found that Windows 8 textbox has a property "IsPredictionEnabled". I understand it is used for enable autocomplete features. But setting this property has no effect even with soft keyboards.

And If i want this search textbox to search bing and retrieve some images corresponding to the search query, how can this be done?

Thank you,

Better use a cutsom control like this:

AutoCompleteBoxWinRT

To get search results from bing You need to use bind api:

Bing API

To use AutCompleteBoxWinRT:

Import namespace:

 xmlns:ab="using:AutoCompleteBox"

Place control:

  <Grid Background="{StaticResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
    <ab:AutoCompleteBox Name="ABBox" Text="{Binding Text, Mode=TwoWay}" WatermarkText="Type something" />

    <Button Content="Test" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,100,0,0" Command="{Binding TestCommand}" />
</Grid>

Here You can download a sample app: LINK
