You are only verifying when the user enters a string value, so if the user enters "[[" or "[[[" and so on it will not enter the if block. So instead of verifying for a fixed value such as "[" you need to evaluate the string and then check if it contains the "[" character, and if so, continue the autocomplete.
Also this is javascript, and I am not sure but I think this is a Xamarin only forum so you should stick to Xamarin related questions. Personally I have never used javascript with Xamarin.
