Answer 1

you can make it as Michel Tome wrote just more generic way.

  
Banana
  
Apple
  
Orange

And in the JS take the text from the event.

$scope.isSimilar = function ($event) {
   var text = $event.target.textContent;
   var pattern = new Regexp(text, "gi")
   return pattern.test($scope.search);
}
