You can update the list:
-Mumbai
-Mumbra
instead of:
-Mumbai(Bom)
-Mumbra (Mum)

The it shows in input text "Mumbra" and passes the value as "Mumbra" just like you want!
For a question without code, there must be an answer without code :P

Solution 2

Use one of the methods of the String class[^] to split the text into the parts you want. You can then pass just the part that you need for the search, while leaving the original in your text or combo box.
