Cannot Search by Number or Date in Slicer

Why is it that you cannot turn on the search function in a slicer if it is a date or number field? Why does this only work with text?  This is SO frustrating!

The work around would be to duplicate the number/date columns, change the data type to "text" and use the search option.

    Yes, but you create a new issue by solving the issue this way. Changing these numeric values to text increases the size of the column and adds latency to your load/refresh times.
