Show parent nodes on search for children #194

Hi! Thanks for a great package!

If you go to the basic example in the Storybook and search for Gekko, then Gekko is shown as expected. But is it possible to also show the parent nodes when you do this search? So that the hierarchy is visible?

Something like this: image

For future reference: I solved this by adding a property childLabels to all parent elements with a substring of its children, like childLabels: "Squamata Gekko". Then i created a custom search where I also searched through that string for parent elements and returned true if match.

@christianeide That's a smart workaround! Thanks for sharing.
