Show suggestions for textbox in PowerApp

Question

Is it possible to show suggestions when typing text for a textbox in Powerapps?

We need user to be able to enter anything in a textbox, also new values, but should be guided to use a pre-existing value if applicable. We will probably have more than a thousand different values.

My need was to also insert new values and for that the solution is not working. It only allows you to select from values already in the datasource. — Mathias Rönnlund, Aug 26 '19 at 14:46

We call this as type ahead or autocomplete control, the same point was added as an idea in PowerApps feedback page here. The solution recommended by Microsoft was to use Combo box control in PowerApps.
