title: AngularJS - how to get an ngRepeat filtered result reference
body: <p>I am using an ng-repeat directive with filter like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ng-repeat="item in items | orderBy:'order_prop' | filter:query | limitTo:4"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I can see the rendered results fine; now I want to run some logic on that result in my controller. The question is how can I grab the result items reference?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong></p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>Just to clarify: I'm trying to create an auto complete, I have this input:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input id="queryInput" ng-model="query" type="text" size="30" placeholder="Enter query"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and then the filtered results:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li  ng-repeat="item in items | orderBy:'order_prop' | filter:query | limitTo:4"&gt;{{item.name}}&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>now I want to navigate the result and select one of the items.</p>
