Does anyone know if these 2 text filter plugins For power BI, work on power BI Service?

  • Text Filter by Microsoft
  • Smart Filter by OkViz


And if familiar with the SERVICE do plugins work on there or just in BI Desktop?

 

i`m also concerned that some companies and corporations wont accept plugins anyway.

 

I just wanted a search box on a page, that did a specific Field Item search (like a product) and changed the visuals on that page according to whats in the search box.

The slicer has a search function, but its not intuitive for an end user to know it is there (in editing view).

 

Creating a matrix one can isolate products individually and affect page filters, but if there are 10-100k elements (field items) in the matrix a search box would be better for me or end users who know what they are searching for.

 

The 2 available filter addons also only search for one word, not two like "this AND that", or "Bill Murray"

And they require a matrix anyway to show results, which I wont always want.
