Keyword Search

I have a table that contains a text column and a second table that contains a list of keywords.  I'm trying to set up a slicer that allows me to filter the text column by the keywords.

 

I created two measure and added a visual filter to accomplish this.  The two measures I have are:

 
SelectedKeyword =
SELECTEDVALUE(
Keywords[Keywords]
)
 
WordFilterTest =
IF (
SUMX(Keywords,
FIND(
UPPER([SelectedKeyword ]),
UPPER(MAX(Note[Note])),, 0)
) > 0, 1, 0
)

This seems to work until I try to add the actual text column ([Note]) to the table visual.  On adding the column, I end up with a time out due to memory constraints. 
 
Does anyone know an alternate way to get the keyword search working?

@RobX , the Second one can not be a column. You can create two measures like

 

SelectedKeyword =
SELECTEDVALUE(
Keywords[Keywords]
)

WordFilterTest =

SUMX(Note,
if(Search([SelectedKeyword ],Note[Note],, 0) > 0, 1, 0)
)

How are these used?  WordFilterTest added as filter greater than 0? What about the other? 

That fixed it!  Thank you!
