Sync the visual Text Filter across multiple pages

The problem is that i had multiple pages and in each page i have a table with a search field that always search the same thing.
What i would like to have is a TextFilter synchronized across this pages allowing me to do just a single search.
There is something i could do to solve this problem?
Thanks.

    Certainly there is, just like any other slicer: the easiest way is to copy it between pages and choose to sync them when a question appears. Only works in power bi desktop though.

    Thanks for your answer Idrissshatila ,


    But what i need is a slicer that allows me to filter text inside a matrix and then sync them all.

        I'm using a Text Filter visual (Business Apps – Microsoft AppSource) because the built-in slicer can't search for text inside a table. So what i want to know is that there's a way to sync these slicers across multiple pages or i need to use a different approach

    Check out "Text search slicer" from DataBrothers s.r.o. - it allows to sync search expression across pages as it works like a slicer - and it is a superset of functionality of Microsoft Text Filter:

    Overview

    Customizable slicer that enables searching/filtering within one or more text categories.

    Text search slicer was inspired by the need for broader customization options in Power BI report development. Users can now format font, padding, border, color, and text within the Format Pane. In addition, the slicer supports filtering on multiple category text fields via hitting ENTER or using the in-built search button. Slicer gets reset if the focus is lost and/or no filter was applied. When filtering multiple categories, additional buttons are shown. The filter is then applied based on highlighted buttons. This visual is certified by Power BI.

      Thank you DataUnited,
      There's some documentation that explain how to sync search expressions across pages or can you show me how to do?
