AngularJS Search using Filter

Question

I am trying to have a search box search values in a table. My code currently works fine.

<tr ng-repeat="b in bugs | filter:searchText">

However, I wish to go further and give users the ability to search specific columns if they have a colon in their search text (e.g. "id: 3").

I have managed to split the search text, separating the column name from the field text.

I read in AngularJS you can do searchText.id to filter specific columns. However, my table has quite a few columns and I only have a string of the column name.

My question is, what is the best way to dynamically set the column being filtered?

Access the column you're searching by accessing it with array syntax.

searchText.id; 
var columnName = "id";
searchText[columnName]; // same thing
