I have developed a sample application. I have used string as record item, you can do it using your own entity. Backspace also works properly.

 public class FilterViewModel
    {
        public IEnumerable DataSource { get; set; }       

        public FilterViewModel()
        {
            DataSource = new[] { "india", "usa", "uk", "indonesia" };           
        }
    }

public partial class WinFilter : Window
    {
          public WinFilter()
          {
             InitializeComponent();

             FilterViewModel vm = new FilterViewModel();
             this.DataContext = vm;
          }

          private void Cmb_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
          {
              CollectionView itemsViewOriginal = (CollectionView)CollectionViewSource.GetDefaultView(Cmb.ItemsSource);

              itemsViewOriginal.Filter = ((o) =>
              {
                  if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(Cmb.Text)) return true;
                  else
                  {
                     if (((string)o).Contains(Cmb.Text)) return true;
                     else return false;
                  }
              });

             itemsViewOriginal.Refresh();

             // if datasource is a DataView, then apply RowFilter as below and replace above logic with below one
             /* 
              DataView view = (DataView) Cmb.ItemsSource; 
              view.RowFilter = ("Name like '*" + Cmb.Text + "*'"); 
             */
          }
     }
