Hi as per your requirements I some modification in your project. Please update few lines in code
for (int i = 0; i < listnames.Items.Count; i++)
         {
             string lbString = listnames.Items[i].ToString();
             if(lbString.Contains(tbSerch.Text))
             {
                 tbSerchTell.Text = i.ToString();
             }
         }
Output:
