[Dropdown] How to use custom search function?

[ceremcem]

I need to use custom search function with dropdown. Currently editing dropdown.js like the following provides a workaround:

        filterItems: function(query) {
          var
            searchTerm = (query !== undefined)
              ? query
              : module.get.query(),
            results          =  null,
            escapedTerm      = module.escape.string(searchTerm),
            beginsWithRegExp = new RegExp('^' + escapedTerm, 'igm')
          ;
          // avoid loop if we're matching nothing
+          if (typeof settings.fullTextSearch === 'function') {
+            settings.fullTextSearch(searchTerm);
+          }
+          else if( module.has.query() ) {
-          if( module.has.query() ) {

Now when I type something into the search box of the dropdown, the fullTextSearch(searchTerm) function is run. I set the filtered data in this handler and refill the dropdown content accordingly.

Is there any proper way to use a custom search function?
