Custom search function

[jordigasau]

Hello, I'm trying to modify the search behaviour to be hyphen insensitive so when the user types "Alava", he will get a result "Álava" as a match. I wonder if we could have a similar function like "item-projection" to define the search behaviour.

Many thanks

Right now I have found a workaround by overiding the filteredItems computed method as follows but it would be very interesting to be able to overide it as a parameter. By the way, I wonder if this sort of solution (overriding a function/method) is good practice. Many thanks!

SimpleTypeahead.computed.filteredItems = (self) => {
  // Normalize string before performing the search
  const regexp = new RegExp(
    self.escapeRegExp(
      self.input.normalize('NFD').replace(/[\u0300-\u036f]/g, '')
    ),
    'i'
  );

  return self.items.filter((item) =>
    self
      .itemProjection(item.normalize('NFD').replace(/[\u0300-\u036f]/g, ''))
      .match(regexp)
  );
};
