Adding more fields to the autosuggest results

I was looking at the JS code that builds the autosuggest list and found that only the `post_title` is set to `text` field of the formatted hits as seen below:

Is there any way to override this method somehow to add other fields like the post date? 

Also, is it something that you'd be considering abstracting for a future version? I'd be interested in contributing with a PR if I had some general guidance.


	/**
	* Helper function to format search results for consumption
	* by the updateAutosuggestBox function
	*
	* @param {object} hits - results from ES
	* @returns {Array} formatted hits
	*/
	const formatSearchResults = (hits) => {
	return hits.map((hit) => {
	const text = hit._source.post_title;
	const url = hit._source.permalink;

	return { text, url };
	});
	};
