The "Reset to Default" button in Power BI Service does not clear Slicers that use the Search feature, once a search string has been entered and used.
In all my Power BI pages, I add a "Reset Slicer" button (which the "Reset to Default seems to do the same thing)
add my users LOVE that feature. They often get "turned around" in their Slicers selections and feel comfortable knowing they can easily get back to page startup.
However, the search text in Slicers with Search turned on does not clear leaving that string filter enforced and users not realizing why filters are still in effect.
This issue has created a HUGE Power BI 'buy-in" acceptance, as some users are looking for the slightest
reasons to not accept this new way of of experiencing data.
The search string should be cleared in all Slicers that use search, or "Reset to Default" is not fully true and clear.
Microsoft should spend more time fixing these quirks to improve UX and user buy-in and usage.
