Thanks for the regex filter idea but the previous solutions do not work for a general case, like a object case where is a multi level fields.

For example:

My solution is:

.filter('regex', function() {
  return function(input, field, regex) {
    var f, fields, i, j, out, patt;
    if (input != null) {
      patt = new RegExp(regex);
      i = 0;
      out = [];
      while (i < input.length) {
        fields = field.split('.').reverse();
        j = input[i];
        while (fields.length > 0) {
          f = fields.pop();
          j = j[f];
        }
        if (patt.test(j)) {
          out.push(input[i]);
        }
        i++;
      }
      return out;
    }
  };
});

It works for multi level objects or simple object with just one level of attributes.

To late but hope it help you to see from different angle.

This is the code in CoffeeScript, is cleaner:

angular.module('yourApp')
    .filter 'regex', ->
        (input, field, regex) ->
            if input?
                patt = new RegExp(regex)
                i = 0
                out = []
                while i < input.length
                    fields = field.split('.').reverse()
                    j = input[i]
                    while fields.length > 0
                        f = fields.pop()
                        j = j[f]
                    if patt.test(j)
                        out.push input[i]
                    i++
                return out
