You can use Linq-To-DataTable :

var filteredRows = dt1.AsEnumerable()
    .Where(row => row.Field<string>("Item") == itemTextToFilter);

... case-insensitive:

var filteredRows = dt1.AsEnumerable()
    .Where(row => string.Equals(row.Field<string>("Item"), itemTextToFilter,StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase));

If you need a new DataTable use filteredRows.CopyToDataTable() .

If you want to find also sub-strings:

var filteredRows = dt1.AsEnumerable()
    .Where(row => row.Field<string>("Item").Contains(itemTextToFilter));

... case-insensitive:

var filteredRows = dt1.AsEnumerable()
    .Where(row => row.Field<string>("Item").IndexOf(itemTextToFilter, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) >= 0);
