Searching a report with a text field

Hi there,

 

has anyone figured out a way to have a text based filter applied to a column?  Like a slicer but that allows a text column to be filtered.  i.e.  I want to go to a text field type "Car" and have all data with car in the name highlighted.  I'm pretty sure this is not there.

 

I suspect this may need a custom viewer element but thought I'd ask here in case anyone has managed to do something similar.

I'm answering my own question here but the answer is the AttributeSlicer from the visualisations gallery.  Doh!  should have looked at the descriptions a little closer before asking the question but at least this may help someone else find it.
