title: How to create drop down filter results in AngularJS
body: <p>I've got an Angular app with a search bar at the top of a webpage. This search bar is a filter that displays subsets of a JSON data array. I'd like for this filter to display its results in a fashion that doesn't affect the DOM on the rest of the page (that way, if the filter returns a ton of results, a drop down box with its own scrolling option will appear, as opposed to the results pushing down the underlying HTML page).</p>
  
  <p>The solution I came up with was to wrap my <code>ng-repeat</code> and filter in a div and give that div an <code>absolute</code> position in my CSS. Is there a better way to do this? This seems awfully hackish and not very Angular to me, but I can't find any other drop down filter solutions.</p>
