    The basic Slicer in power bi already has a search feature. My request is to add a way to select all search results in one click. For example, say I search a text column in the slicer for all values with "ipad" and I get 200+ results returned in the slicer. It would be super helpful if you could select all 200+ results in one click since selecting one-by-one is so tedious.

    Please add this option - this is absolute must and already exists in Excel

    I was so frustrated. Now i know it's missing in the design. We need this!

    This is the one item that is keeping me from migrating SSRS reports to Power BI: We have parameters that are set up to return results that contain inputted text. For example: Show all titles that contain the word: Space
    1. This will return all titles that containing the letters 'space' (non-case sensitive)
    2. WIll allow you to 'Select All' as there may be a LOT of results that you want to see
    3. This is dynamic for the user on the RS Server, NOT hardcoded in DAX

    RE: Slicer Search - Add "Select All Results" option

    I agree, when you have a list with hundreds or even thousands of lines of data, and you run a search, you still might come up huge amount of search results and manually selecting the box for each one is not practical.

    Remember that in Excel with tables or filters, this option is already available. When you click the down arrow for a particular column the top box says "(Select All)", when you input search criteria, the top box changes to "(Select All Search Results"). This is exactly what we need on the Slicer Search.

    This is a desperately needed and completely obvious feature. Without this feature the search function is very limited. Imagine a part number search where 5P4 returns 300 results. The user is supposed to click 300 times?
