How to create searchable parameter inside Power BI Report Builder?

Hello all,

 

I was able to create a drop down list parameter in Power Bi Report Builder but am unable to create a searchable drop-down list?

For example employee name type in John and then the drop down list shows John Smith as an option.

It doens't seem to be possible with Report Builder. Can't find anywhere in the documentation that it is
