How to put a delay on AngularJS instant search?

Question

I have a performance issue that I can\'t seem to address. I have an instant search but it\'s somewhat laggy, since it starts searching on each keyup().

Angular 1.3 will have ng-model-options debounce, but until then, you have to use a timer like Josue Ibarra said. However, in his code he launches a timer on every key press. Also, he is using setTimeout, when in Angular one has to use $timeout or use $apply at the end of setTimeout.
