Hey everyone. Hope you're all doing well.

I have a listObject table with 20k+ rows that I'm filtering with a textbox.
This is the code I modified a little from extendoffice:

VBA Code:
Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
'Update by Extendoffice 2018/08/22
Dim xStr, xName As String
Dim xWS As Worksheet
Dim xRg As Range

    On Error GoTo Err01
    
    With Application
     .Calculation = xlCalculationManual
     .ScreenUpdating = False
    End With
    
    xName = "tbInsumos"
    xStr = TextBox1.Text
    Set xWS = ActiveSheet
    Set xRg = xWS.ListObjects(xName).Range
    
    If xStr <> "" Then
        xRg.AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:="*" & Replace(xStr, " ", "*") & "*", Operator:=xlFilterValues
    Else
        xRg.AutoFilter Field:=2, Operator:=xlFilterValues
    End If
    
Err01:
    With Application
     .Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
     .ScreenUpdating = True
    End With

End Sub

Issue 1:
It works, but it takes a few miliseconds to display both the result and the letters being written in the textbox, which makes it feel slow.

Issue 2:
I'd like it to ignore the word order, for example: If in my table there's an item "BROWN MARBLE", I'd like to be able to type, say, "marb bro" and still get the result. I had partial success by simply replacing the spaces from the filter criteria with a wildcard (*) but it doesn't ignore the word order.

I've been helped to accomplish something similar here, but this time I'm filtering a table, instead of a listbox.

Here's a sample file with dummy data:

How can I make it faster and ignore the word order from the filter criteria string?

Thank you all very much for your help.
