I think it would be amazing if we could have a search box/area on a table or matrix so that the user can start typing something in and the table or matrix will start dynamically filtering as they are typing.
This would help save space from having to add so many slicers. And would allow for quick searches to find the data.

RE: Ability to search within a table or a matrix.

It would be very useful, I'm missing this feature a lot. If you need to find the specific row in multi-row / multi-column table, it would be great if you could enter search directly from colum's header (right-click and select search). Without this feature you have to add multiple slicers, which are less comfortable, and take a lot of space.

Yes this should be added. I'm trying to mimic a report that was created using Qlik and it's a shame I can't add a search bar in a matrix like Qlik.

either filtering or just highlighting the records found, would be best, as options.

This would be an awesome addition. Would be great if you could turn it on and off for specific fields in the table or the matrix. Just like it works already for a slicer

Totally agree this is needed for long tables and matrices (instead of filter in a separate slicer or sorting and scrolling by column header).
