When I try to use the search function within the drop down slicer I can see it but it will not allow me to click in or type next to the magnifying glass.

 

I'm seeing exactly the same problem.  When I select 'dropdown' as the type of slicer.  The 'search' feature appears but I'm unable to type characters into the search field.  Instead of the mouse becoming a vertical edit bar, it becomes a selection hand when mousing over the search field.  Why would search be incompatible with dropdown?
