Search functionality in Power BI

Hello,

 

Is there any possibility to add textbox in power BI, which acts as a dropdown to filter the data?

Currently i am looking for the possible solutions to search and filter the data from the bulk.

 

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone found a way to have this filter return multiple results?  For example, when I search for 'Power', I'd want rows 1 & 3 returned.  So far, I can get the filter to display 1 & 3 for me to choose from, but then when I press Enter, it only returns one value.
