SearchBox
The SearchBox control makes providing an in-app search experience relatively easy, with all the bells and whistles you would expect. However, this control is PC-only, at least for Windows 8.1.
When you place a SearchBox in your user interface, it looks just like a TextBox with an extra button for submitting the search. Like TextBox and the other text controls, it has a PlaceholderText property. You should use this to inform the user what kind of things he or she can search for within your app. The following SearchBox is shown in Figure 14.5:
<SearchBox PlaceholderText="Search Chapters"/>
