The module version "slimselect.es.js" in dist has a syntax error

"slimselect.es.js" has a syntax error.

Firefox says "Uncaught SyntaxError: export declarations may only appear at top level of a module". When the code is reindented, it appears that the class Render is never closed.

But in fact, this is the result of another syntax error, in higlightText() of Render, line 1175 :

const regex = new RegExp('(' + search.trim() + ')(?![^<]*>[^<>]*${originalTextFoundByRegex}`);

An interpolation is opened with "`" but never closed (or closed but never opened, in this case).

The obvious fix is to replace the quote with a backquote :

const regex = new RegExp('(' + search.trim() + `)(?![^<]*>[^<>]*${originalTextFoundByRegex}`);

Cool find. Submit a pr and make sure a test tests this and ill get the pr in asap.

The problem is there is no direct equivalence in the code.
It seems to be a total reinterpretation (by Babel?) of highlightText where the regex declaration and its modification are fused, but with several errors.

As I'm not familiar with TS, I don't know how to fix this, sorry.
