Default ComboBox filtered on partial match?

I want to fill a Combobox with items from a spreadsheet column (9500 cells)
where there is an "in-string" match to the data I enter in the Combo-box.
For example, if I were to type the word "disk" into the Combobox, the
Combobox would display the following items only from my 9500 items:

hard disk
harddisk
disk-drive
diskette

I must match one of the items, and ideally also I would like to retrieve the
row number of my final choice for further use (bound column).

I have a few ideas like filling an array using the Change event, but I'm
wondering if there's an easier way by maybe using a RecordSet?

Hope someone can help! Thanks.
