[Feature]: SearchBox Typeahead to Match Design Docs #34994

Description

Area

React Components (@fluentui/react-components)

Describe the feature that you would like added

The FluentUI 2 design docs on Searchbox suggests that the there is an expected design pattern of showing some initial results while typing. There doesn't seem to be something built into the React component for SearchBox but this seems like an opportunity area. If nothing else, maybe something in the docs to suggest "Build your own" if there are not plans to implement something for typeahead results.

Additional context

There is sort of a work-around by using a Combobox, but this feels less practical when searching against an API that has an arbitrarily large number of possible results. There's the Fluent UI Blazor "Autocomplete" but that's obvious not a react implementation, and feels very similar to the Combobox solution.
