clint-tseng/awesomecomplete — Issue #10: Escaping of regex special chars does not work properly

All regular expression special characters within terms are being replaced with the string '$1' because there are no parentheses to form a match.

For example autocompleting "test+" will never show "test+test" as a match as it's being replaced with "test\$1".
