Fuzzy Search slicer

I have a table for Responsible person as follows

I would like to have a search slicer, wherein if I type for eg Sergey, All rows with Sergey should be selected. 
Is that possible in power BI?

@pratichi, there is a custom visual. I'm not sure it'll fit in --https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi-visuals/wa104381309?tab=overview

@mussaenda @rajend12 I ve tried activating search function in the normal slider, but then it doesn't select and search for all possible cases. I have also tried Fuzzy look up but that would mean as task where 2 or more people are responsible, it would only pick one which is again not ideal. Would it be possible to do this as a measure?

@pratichi ,

 

The visual that Amit told you is the same custom visual I recommended to you.

 

Glad that helped!
