var FilteredList = React.createClass({
  filterList: function(event){
    var updatedList = this.state.initialItems;
    updatedList = updatedList.filter(function(item){
      return item.toLowerCase().search(
        event.target.value.toLowerCase()) !== -1;

         "Duck",
         "Eggs",

var List = React.createClass({
