Visual studio like search - wpf

Question

I want to implement Visual Studio like search. For now I want to make it search my UserControls, and on click it should open them in Tab.
I'm not searching for code, just for the right guidelines and the right terminology to try to implement this.
Thanks for any advice.
Example:

For searching in your UserControl collection I would use LINQ.
List<UserControl> results = (from UserControl control in list_of_usercontrols where (control.SomeParameter.ToLower().Contains(SearchParameter) || control.OtherParameter.ToLower().Contains(SearchParameter)) && nnn.IsEnabled select nnn).Distinct().ToList();
For displaying results I highly recommend ListView. I use it to show results in my WPF app, it's incredibly fast.
listView1.ItemsSource = results;
You can set ItemTemplate for your ListView.
<ListView Grid.Row="1" Name="listView1" BorderThickness="0" SelectionMode="Single" >
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Label FontSize="15" >
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding SomeProperty}"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding OtherProperty}"></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding ThirdProperty}" ></TextBlock>
</StackPanel>
</Label>
<Label Content="{Binding FourthProperty}" Grid.Row="1" Padding="5,0,0,5"></Label>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
