Creating a data list filter

Please read Creating a data list before continuing.

A data list filter is an input field wired to a data list. The value of the field acts as a regular expression pattern to match against records. This allows for simple string matching, wildcards or more advanced patterns.

You can configure the data list filter to test one or more properties of a record. The default behavior is to test all properties (this is expensive).

app.filter = $.filter($("#filter"), app.datalist, "name, email");
