There are many ways to search through a string (i.e. how will you handle spaces in words? If someone types "Transducer Lower" would you want the tuple in index 2 to be a result?

But to access what I think is what you’re looking for, you would index into the tuple: item[0]

So something like this:

for item in data:
    if typed in item[0]:
        ...

You can ignore case by, say, comparing the uppercase versions of typed and item[0]:

for item in data:
    if typed.upper() in item[0].upper():
        ...
