Typeahead highlight for custom filters

[vitaly-t]

This is a feature request for Typeahead control...

To be able to customize the highlight logic to match a custom filter.

At the moment the control highlights matches only using the default match filter: filter:$viewValue.

We use two custom filters, a custom OR filter and a custom AND filter where we take $viewValue, do .split(' ') on it and then try to match individual words against the list using OR or AND logic accordingly.

It would be great if we could somehow match the highlight logic to be able to see where in a long text item we have the matching words.

Couldn't one override the template to use a custom filter? This is probably the best approach without introducing bloat into the library.
