match doesn't work with numbers

So I needed a autocomplete to an input with only numbers.
Since the data that i have is a huge list I needed the match enabled.
But since the input was only numbers the function .search was not working properly.

As a turn around for this I changed the match method to this:

method: function(element, phrase) {
var elm = element + '';
if (elm.search(phrase) > -1) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}

                }

I'm sure tho, that there is a better way to avoid the issue.

The error i was getting is:

Uncaught TypeError: element.search is not a function

This looks a lil better.
I'm new to GitHub, but this could be a nice addiction to the source in future releases

`method: function(element, phrase )
{
if (!isNaN(element) ? element.toString().search(phrase) > -1: element.search(phrase) > -1 )
{
return true;
} else {
return false;
}

                }`

When you call toString() on string you'll still get string, so there is no need to type check. 🙂
