For learning yad I found this great reference: YAD - Smokey01.com

As mentioned in comments you want to use the option --search-column=N

Take the following code snippet as an example:

while true ; do
    local Selected INSTRUCTIONS
    INSTRUCTIONS="Click Icon to move and press Enter"
    Selected=$(yad --list --radiolist \
    --image="$ICON" --window-icon="$ICON" \
    --margins=10 --no-click  --search-column=4 \
    --title="$TITLE" "${GEOMETRY[@]}" \
    --text="<big><b>$TEXT</b></big> - $INSTRUCTIONS" \
    --column "Select" \
    --column "Order" \
    --column "Icon Type:HD" \
    --column "Icon name" \
    --column "Linkless name:HD" \
    --column "Modified date" \
    --column "Col Pos:NUM" \
    --column "Row Pos:NUM" \
    --button="_Alpha Sort:$ButnAlpha" \
    --button="_Linkless Sort:$ButnLinkless" \
    --button="_Oldest Date:$ButnOldest" \
    --button="_Newest Date:$ButnNewest" \
    --button="_Test:$ButnTest"  \
    --button="_Apply:$ButnApply" \
    --button="_Cancel:$ButnCancel" \
    "${IconsArr[@]}")

    Retn="$?"

Columns #3 and #5 are hidden but they are still counted. We want to search on Icon Name so it is column #4 as recorded here:

    --margins=10 --no-click  --search-column=4 \

The short .gif clip below shows what happens when we type:
