  { name: 'Alice Johnson01023', age: 35, phoneNumber: '010-5500-4455' },
];

const filteredData = fullTextSearch({
  data,
  searchRequirement: [
    { value: 'name', keywords: ['Jane'] },
    { value: 'phoneNumber', keywords: ['0101234'] },
  ],
});
```

### Highlight Example

  searchRequirement: [
    { value: 'name', keywords: ['Jane'] },
    { value: 'phoneNumber', keywords: ['0101234'] },
  ],
});
```
