how to do this Excel search box Soundex Search

i have downloaded the attached file from https://optionexplicitvba.com/2013/05/04/the-excel-lab-soundex-search/

i need help with modification of this, so that instead of this box and chart, i just have a search box and when i type something it gives me the list of possible soundex match and then once i click on the desired one, it just puts that value in my search box.

i hope this is easy.

So right now on the sheet you have a textbox, a listbox and a chart. I understand that you want to remove the chart but I'm not sure of what else you want to do. Are you saying that for example if you typed "win" in the textbox and then you selected "Edwin" from the listbox, that you want "Edwin" to replace the "win" in the textbox?

I just saw that you have a couple of userforms, so I guess I need a better explanation of what you want to have happen.
