In Angular, is there a way to modify the filter such that it only returns exact matches?
Example:
var words = [
{ title: "ball" },
{ title: "wall" },
{ title: "all" },
{ title: "alloy" }
];
var wordsFiltered = filter('filter')
(
words,
{
'title': 'all'
}
);
The above will match 'ball', 'wall', 'all' and 'alloy'. But I would like it to only match 'all'. Any way to change it?

Starting from AngularJS v.1.1.3 the exact filtering is provided natively:
Find words that exactly match title:
<input ng-model="match.title" />
<br>
and exactly match type:
<input ng-model="match.type" />
<hr>
<table>
<tr ng-repeat="word in words | filter:match:true">
<td>{{word.title}}</td>
</tr>
</table>

Your question implies that you would want to match against multiple object properties so here's a filter that does that:
app.controller('AppController',
[
'$scope',
function($scope) {
$scope.match = {};
$scope.words = [
{ title: "ball", type: 'object' },
{ title: "wall", type: 'object' },
{ title: "all", type: 'word' },
{ title: "alloy", type: 'material' }
];
}
]
);
app.filter('exact', function(){
return function(items, match){
var matching = [], matches, falsely = true;
// Return the items unchanged if all filtering attributes are falsy
angular.forEach(match, function(value, key){
falsely = falsely && !value;
});
if(falsely){
return items;
}
angular.forEach(items, function(item){ // e.g. { title: "ball" }
matches = true;
angular.forEach(match, function(value, key){ // e.g. 'all', 'title'
if(!!value){ // do not compare if value is empty
matches = matches && (item[key] === value);
}
});
if(matches){
matching.push(item);
}
});
return matching;
}
});
<body ng-controller="AppController">
Find words that exactly match title:
<input ng-model="match.title" />
<br>
and exactly match type:
<input ng-model="match.type" />
<hr>
<table>
<tr ng-repeat="word in words | exact:match">
<td>{{word.title}}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>

Try this :
var words = [
{ title: "ball" },
{ title: "wall" },
{ title: "all" },
{ title: "alloy" }
];
var wordsFiltered = filter('filter')
(
words,
{
'title': 'all'
},
true
);
