Making Reports and Metrics Searchable and Discoverable
Not sure which forum this would sit best in, so apologies if I am in the wrong place!
I currently have a suite of 15+ reports spread across 5 or so Apps and covering perhaps as many as 50 different pages of metrics and it is beginning to become a challenge to remember where everything is. Ideally I'd like to provide a simple search bar where someone can search for either a metric or type of data and then be directed to the relevant report page. I've had a look around at discoverability but my search has mostly turned up either "how to make PBI data discoverable" or "what is a data catalogue", which isnt quite what I am looking for. I suppose I could create a data catalogue of every metric (or visual?), but that seems like quite the arduous task - and one that would never end!
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi snayff ,
As far as I know, Power BI currently doesn't support us to seach report by a metric or type of data.
There is a Navigation for Power BI business users: global search in Power BI Service.
For reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/consumer/end-user-search-sort

Thank you for coming back to me. I was more wondering if there was something we could build in Power BI, perhaps searching against a list of tags? Or some other Microsoft product we could leverage.
