I created a list box with the following code:

VBA Code: 
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim arrdata() As Variant
Dim lngIndex As Long
Dim lngRow As Long

    arrdata = Worksheets("Current").Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Value

    With Me.lstHeaders
        .ColumnCount = 7
        .ColumnWidths = "180,60,255,95,75,105,65"
        .Font.Size = 13
        .Font.Bold = True
        .Enabled = False
         .AddItem
        .List(lngRow, 0) = arrdata(1, 3)
        .List(lngRow, 1) = arrdata(1, 4)
        .List(lngRow, 2) = arrdata(1, 5)
        .List(lngRow, 3) = arrdata(1, 10)
        .List(lngRow, 4) = arrdata(1, 11)
        .List(lngRow, 5) = arrdata(1, 13)
        .List(lngRow, 6) = arrdata(1, 14)
    End With

    With Me.CarList
        .ColumnCount = 7
        .ColumnWidths = "180,60,255,95,75,105,65"
        .Font.Size = 13
    End With
    
    lngRow = 0
    
    For lngIndex = LBound(arrdata, 1) + 1 To UBound(arrdata, 1)
        If arrdata(lngIndex, 13) <> "completed" Then
            With Me.CarList
                .AddItem
                .List(lngRow, 0) = arrdata(lngIndex, 3)
                .List(lngRow, 1) = arrdata(lngIndex, 4)
                .List(lngRow, 2) = arrdata(lngIndex, 5)
                .List(lngRow, 3) = arrdata(lngIndex, 10)
                .List(lngRow, 4) = arrdata(lngIndex, 11)
                .List(lngRow, 5) = arrdata(lngIndex, 13)
                .List(lngRow, 6) = arrdata(lngIndex, 14)
            End With
            lngRow = lngRow + 1
        End If
    Next lngIndex
End Sub

and I created a text box that I want to use it as a search engine, One of the columns has full names, so I want to type the name in the text box and click a button to filter the table with the values that contain the typed values.

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
Sort by date Sort by votes
For the filter we are also going to use the arrdata variable, but we are going to declare it in the General section.

Note: Change the 3 to the column number of the sheet where you have the name.
Rich (BB code): 
If arrdata(lngIndex, 13) <> "completed" And LCase(arrdata(lngIndex, 3)) Like "*" & LCase(TextBox1.Value) & "*" Then

Replace all your code with the following, the button is not necessary, the filter will be done automatically as you write in textbox1.
VBA Code: 
Option Explicit

Dim arrdata() As Variant        'at the beginning of all the code

Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
  Dim lngIndex As Long
  Dim lngRow As Long

  Me.CarList.Clear
  lngRow = 0
  For lngIndex = LBound(arrdata, 1) + 1 To UBound(arrdata, 1)
    If arrdata(lngIndex, 13) <> "completed" And LCase(arrdata(lngIndex, 3)) Like "*" & LCase(TextBox1.Value) & "*" Then
      Call add_ToListbox(lngRow, lngIndex)
      lngRow = lngRow + 1
    End If
  Next lngIndex
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
  Dim lngIndex As Long
  Dim lngRow As Long
 
  arrdata = Worksheets("Current").Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Value
 
  With Me.lstHeaders
    .ColumnCount = 7
    .ColumnWidths = "180;60;255;95;75;105;65"     'I think they should be separated by semicolons, if not, change to commas
    .Font.Size = 13
    .Font.Bold = True
    .Enabled = False
     .AddItem
    .List(lngRow, 0) = arrdata(1, 3)
    .List(lngRow, 1) = arrdata(1, 4)
    .List(lngRow, 2) = arrdata(1, 5)
    .List(lngRow, 3) = arrdata(1, 10)
    .List(lngRow, 4) = arrdata(1, 11)
    .List(lngRow, 5) = arrdata(1, 13)
    .List(lngRow, 6) = arrdata(1, 14)
  End With
 
  With Me.CarList
    .ColumnCount = 7
    .ColumnWidths = "180;60;255;95;75;105;65"   'I think they should be separated by semicolons, if not, change to commas
    .Font.Size = 13
  End With
 
  lngRow = 0
  For lngIndex = LBound(arrdata, 1) + 1 To UBound(arrdata, 1)
    If arrdata(lngIndex, 13) <> "completed" Then
      Call add_ToListbox(lngRow, lngIndex)
      lngRow = lngRow + 1
    End If
  Next lngIndex
End Sub

Sub add_ToListbox(lngRow, lngIndex)
  With Me.CarList
    .AddItem
    .List(lngRow, 0) = arrdata(lngIndex, 3)
    .List(lngRow, 1) = arrdata(lngIndex, 4)
    .List(lngRow, 2) = arrdata(lngIndex, 5)
    .List(lngRow, 3) = arrdata(lngIndex, 10)
    .List(lngRow, 4) = arrdata(lngIndex, 11)
    .List(lngRow, 5) = arrdata(lngIndex, 13)
    .List(lngRow, 6) = arrdata(lngIndex, 14)
  End With
End Sub

out of curiosity, what if I want to apply a 2nd filter from a combo box?

Example:
Change this:
VBA Code: 
    If arrdata(lngIndex, 13) <> "completed" And LCase(arrdata(lngIndex, 3)) Like "*" & LCase(TextBox1.Value) & "*" Then

For this:
Rich (BB code): 
    If arrdata(lngIndex, 13) <> "completed" And LCase(arrdata(lngIndex, 3)) Like "*" & LCase(TextBox1.Value) & "*" And _ 
       LCase(arrdata(lngIndex, 5)) = Lcase(Combobox1.Value) Then

Adjust the values in red by your values.

But when I write on the text box, since the combo box doesn't have any values yet the listbox is blank

I thought it was simpler, but no.

Change your code to this:

VBA Code: 
Option Explicit

Dim arrdata() As Variant        'at the beginning of all the code

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
  Call Filter_Data
End Sub

Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
  Call Filter_Data
End Sub

Sub Filter_Data()
  Dim i As Long, lngRow As Long
  Dim tbox As String, cbox As String

  Me.CarList.Clear
  lngRow = 0
  For i = LBound(arrdata, 1) + 1 To UBound(arrdata, 1)
    If TextBox1.Value = "" Then tbox = LCase(arrdata(i, 3)) Else tbox = LCase(TextBox1.Value)
    If ComboBox1.Value = "" Then cbox = LCase(arrdata(i, 5)) Else cbox = LCase(ComboBox1.Value)
    
    If arrdata(i, 13) <> "completed" And LCase(arrdata(i, 3)) Like "*" & tbox & "*" And _
       LCase(arrdata(i, 5)) = cbox Then
      Call add_ToListbox(lngRow, i)
      lngRow = lngRow + 1
    End If
  Next
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
  Dim lngIndex As Long
  Dim lngRow As Long
  
  arrdata = Worksheets("Current").Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Value
  
  With Me.lstHeaders
    .ColumnCount = 7
    .ColumnWidths = "180;60;255;95;75;105;65"     'I think they should be separated by semicolons, if not, change to commas
    .Font.Size = 13
    .Font.Bold = True
    .Enabled = False
     .AddItem
    .List(lngRow, 0) = arrdata(1, 3)
    .List(lngRow, 1) = arrdata(1, 4)
    .List(lngRow, 2) = arrdata(1, 5)
    .List(lngRow, 3) = arrdata(1, 10)
    .List(lngRow, 4) = arrdata(1, 11)
    .List(lngRow, 5) = arrdata(1, 13)
    .List(lngRow, 6) = arrdata(1, 14)
  End With
  
  With Me.CarList
    .ColumnCount = 7
    .ColumnWidths = "180;60;255;95;75;105;65"   'I think they should be separated by semicolons, if not, change to commas
    .Font.Size = 13
  End With
  
  lngRow = 0
  For lngIndex = LBound(arrdata, 1) + 1 To UBound(arrdata, 1)
    If arrdata(lngIndex, 13) <> "completed" Then
      Call add_ToListbox(lngRow, lngIndex)
      lngRow = lngRow + 1
    End If
  Next lngIndex
End Sub

Sub add_ToListbox(lngRow, lngIndex)
  With Me.CarList
    .AddItem
    .List(lngRow, 0) = arrdata(lngIndex, 3)
    .List(lngRow, 1) = arrdata(lngIndex, 4)
    .List(lngRow, 2) = arrdata(lngIndex, 5)
    .List(lngRow, 3) = arrdata(lngIndex, 10)
    .List(lngRow, 4) = arrdata(lngIndex, 11)
    .List(lngRow, 5) = arrdata(lngIndex, 13)
    .List(lngRow, 6) = arrdata(lngIndex, 14)
  End With
End Sub

You have to make adjustments to what is highlighted in red:
Rich (BB code): 
Sub Filter_Data()
  Dim i As Long, lngRow As Long
  Dim tbox As String, cbox As String

  Me.CarList.Clear
  lngRow = 0
  For i = LBound(arrdata, 1) + 1 To UBound(arrdata, 1)
    If TextBox1.Value = "" Then tbox = LCase(arrdata(i, 3)) Else tbox = LCase(TextBox1.Value)
    If ComboBox1.Value = "" Then cbox = LCase(arrdata(i, 5)) Else cbox = LCase(ComboBox1.Value)
    
    If arrdata(i, 13) <> "completed" And LCase(arrdata(i, 3)) Like "*" & tbox & "*" And _
       LCase(arrdata(i, 5)) = cbox Then
      Call add_ToListbox(lngRow, i)
      lngRow = lngRow + 1
    End If
  Next
End Sub
