  Simple search filtering behavior for a list of objects.

  Properties to override:
    - searchTerm: the string to use as a query
    - searchProps: the props on each object to search
    - listToSearch: the list of objects to search

  Properties provided:
    - listSearched: a subset of listToSearch of items that meet the search criteria
