angucomplete is looking for an input

Actual version give ability to override template but still try to find the component where the user is going to type in to be an input. However it can be a textarea or multiple input might be in an user template.

link: function(scope, elem, attrs, ctrl) {
    var inputField = elem.find('input');

I would suggest to find this input - textarea or whatever the dev want to use to be find based on a class name or an id, which could be configurable or not.

I’m keeping this open so that people will know that there is a potential issue with custom template.

I also needed a textarea element instead of input, and i changed:

var inputField = elem.find('input');

with

var inputField = (attrs.textarea === "true") ? elem.find('textarea') : elem.find('input');

end that was enough for my needs.
