Text Search Deprecated - what is its replacement?
All ( Anonymous pmurz mlucking motoray ),
MS support just contacted me and confirmed that the Text Filter visual will NOT be deprecated in response to community requests. The deprecation warning will go away within a week.
EDIT: It looks like they have pulled it from AppSource and the warning has returned. I have reopened my case and reached out to the product team for an update.
Just got off the phone with support. They confirm that the visual will be deprecated, but the timeline for the official deprecation is unknown. Once this occurs, the reports that use it will continue to load, but the visual will show an error, will not load any data, and will have to be replaced. Current recommendation is to reconfigure reports to use the slicer visual or an alternative from AppSource, even though they acknowledge that there are no visuals with feature parity.
Further, they confirmed there is no way to identify all the reports that have been published containing this visual. Their recommendation is to manually navigate to each report, open it, go into edit mode, then confirm the visuals it is using and replace/reconfigure as needed.
