Hi!

Is there a way to highlight searched text when using an html template? It works well when using the default the table widget but when I switch to an html template it’s not. Can’t figure out how to get it to highlight the searchterm.

I’m using html with angularjs.

I tried `typeaheadHighlight` as well as `md-highlight-text`

Thanks!
