'Select all' in a filter with search function enabled

[sarah2_williams]

Morning all! 

Quick question - can't seem to find a way around this.

We are using the filter visual in a report where you can multi select or select all- it has over 1000 options. I have enabled the search in the filter visual, but when searching the select all button doesn't work/disappears.

As an example; out of the 1000 items, I want to select everything that has "Math" in. So we type this in the top bar and the filter visual only displays the items with Math, 50 results. The only way I can then select all 50 of these results is to click each one individually, there is no select all option for items brough up by the search bar.

Ideally I would like users to be able to do this on the report when it is uploaded into the service and published in an App.

does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Sarah

@sarah2_williams Maybe it would be better try 'advanced filtering' in the filter visual instead of 'basic filtering'. In that case you can filter all results that contain what you need without manual selecting them.
