What tosh mentions should work for you!

If you find yourself wanting to filter by regex more often you can create a custom filter. Something like this fiddle will let you specify a field to check against a regex:

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
myApp.filter('regex', function() {
  return function(input, field, regex) {
      var patt = new RegExp(regex);      
      var out = [];
      for (var i = 0; i < input.length; i++){
          if(patt.test(input[i][field]))
              out.push(input[i]);
      }      
    return out;
  };
});

Used like this where 'type' indicates the field you are checking against (in this case a field named type):
