Answer 1

You can use orderByPriority to convert firebase objects into array and then apply normal filter and orderBy.

 <div ng-repeat="customer in customers | orderByPriority | filter:searchText">
     <span>{{ customer.$id }} </span>
 </div>

Take a look at the orderByPriority filter source code - which converts an object into an array ordered by the Firebase priority: https://github.com/firebase/angularFire/blob/master/angularfire.js#L37

You can include the key of the object directly in each item in the array by setting a special $key property.
