    Hi Royel ,
    Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.
    You’re right that the Attribute Slicer is scheduled for deprecation, and it’s been popular for text searches and handling large datasets. As Microsoft moves away from custom visuals that replicate core slicer functions, there are a few alternatives to consider. Smart Filter by OKViz is the closest match, supporting search across long lists, multi-selection, and text-based filtering. You can also use the default slicer with its Search box for simpler text searches, or create field parameters with a slicer to switch dynamically between attributes while keeping visuals efficient.

    Other options include custom visuals like Text Filter, Hierarchy Slicer, or Search & Select from AppSource depending on your needs. If this functionality is important for your workflows, consider submitting feedback or upvoting requests on the Power BI Ideas forum to encourage Microsoft to improve native slicers.
