The first example searches for what you type anywhere in the text of the list items. This is great when searching for people's names as you can search using the first or last name. The second example will test only the characters at the start. The example here is to search for countries in a list. When you type 'Ca' you want countries like Canada and Cambodia to appear, not South Africa although it does contain the letters 'ca'.
