As you showed, I am adding custom filter which will do as described by you.

Here is the custom filter.

$scope.filters = [];
$scope.$watch('filter.search', function(newValue, oldValue) {
 if(newValue != undefined){
  $scope.filters = newValue.split(" ");
 }
})

$scope.searachData = {};

$scope.customSearch = function(item) {
$scope.searachData.status = true;

angular.forEach($scope.filters, function(value1, key) {
  $scope.searachData.tempStatus = false;
  angular.forEach(item, function(value2, key) {
    var dataType = typeof(value2);

    if(dataType == "string" && (!value2.includes('object'))){
      if(value2.toLowerCase().includes(value1)){
        $scope.searachData.tempStatus = true;
      }
    }else if(dataType == "object"){
      var num = value2.value.toString();
      if(num.includes(value1)){
        $scope.searachData.tempStatus = true;
      }
    }
  });
          $scope.searachData.status = $scope.searachData.status & $scope.searachData.tempStatus;
});

return $scope.searachData.status;
};

Here is the working Example.
