What to change on Text Filter visual source code to use exact match search instead of contains.

Hi PelaezLink,

If that's all you've changed, then when you package and load the visual, Power BI will recognise that the visual's GUID matches the one already in AppSource and will load that one from there. This is a way of ensuring that AppSource visuals always stay current and creators don't have to manually update them.

You will also need to change the guid property in pbiviz.json  to something unique - you could add a number to the end, or prefix it with 'PalaezLink' or whatever; just enough to make it a guid that is not already registered in AppSource.

Note that by doing this, this visual will no longer be certified as it's no longer tied to the version in AppSource. If you need it to be certified, you will need to publish your visual to AppSource yourself and go through the certification process. You can read about this here.

With this 'uncoupled' version working, you'll get some bonus formatting changes that I submitted a couple of years ago. These have been approved by MS, but I don't think that they are planning to update the published version with anything new, so you may at least find them useful.

Good luck!

Daniel
