    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.

The product team recommends using the Slicer as a replacement (WHAT VISUAL). My understanding is that they are migrating the functionality of the text filter to the Slicer (WHY), but they could not confirm that all of the functionality would be available before the text filter is officially deprecated.

BamDastard , Thank you for the reply.

I originally accepted your response as the solution to the posted question, but I changed my mind.   Your response does explain some portion of the MS product team's approach, but does not solve the problem.   The SLICER visual does not have the search functionality.   I feel that they absolutely should add SEARCH functionality prior to deprecating the TEXT FILTER visual.

    Search functionality has been added to the Slicer for datasets that contain strings. It does not work with integers or dates.
