Reinitialize Typeahead with new source

[redskins80]

Firstly, many thanks for this angular method of using typeahead!

My use case has brought me to a grinding halt. Ill try to describe it as best i can..

Essentially, I have two 'sources' from which I want typeahead to suggest from. I am using the bloodhound engine. So, I have initialized two Bloodhound objects - one, numbers.initialize() and two, letters.initialize(). Problem is, when I intiialized typeahead at fist using source:numbers.ttAdapter() it obviously works as expected.. But, on selection of an item from typeahead, I want to change the source to source:letter.ttAdapter(), since according to my use case, I want another source to be used for suggestion. What could be the best way to do that? Any way to reinitialize typeahead programatically with a new source?

Sorry, I'm struggling to understand your use-case in this scenario.

You can attach more than one Bloodhound object to a single typeahead control on initialisation. However, you are saying that you wish to switch suggestion engines half-way through the typeahead receiving input?

Can you provide an example of why you'd need this functionality, over say, two separate typeahead controls, or a single bloodhound object with all combinations of both numbers and letters, or a simple text input with a Regex validation?

I have two bloodhound objects... And yes.. I wish to switch objects half
way.. I'm trying to implement a kind of search where different backends are
queried depending on the suggestion selected before. In my use case, a
previous suggestion selected has some semantic meaning and cannot be
clubbed with another set of suggestions as you suggest. Based on the
previous suggestion selected, another backend is queried and I want the
suggestions of that to be isolated and shown with the type ahead.

I hope you understand my case.
I have already figured out a hacky way to make this work... Basically, i
created another isolation scope in the directive and sent the
numbers.ttAdapter from the controller to the directive. But I was wondering
if there could be a nicer method that could perform this.

I'm afraid that this isn't a use-case that I can easily support, as Twitter Typeahead simply isn't designed to be used in this way.
