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.

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?

I agree. This idea would vastly improve the currently slicer search configuration.

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

As far as I can see now there are three other Ideas that adress this request:
https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/17636017-dropdown-search
https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/17456218-slicer-improvement-with-search-and-select-all
https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/17054293-select-all-when-using-slicer-search

It would by nice the have this feature. You would think that when you activate 'Select all' for a dropdown or list slicer, it would also be available after you Search/ filter your options.

....but it it would also be nice to somehow combine the ideas & votes into one request (or link them). It's difficult to vote of you have 4 similar options.... (i think combining/ relating similar Idea's is better in general)

It is a much needed feature without this the search is really not usefull, as your search result may bring a big list which today has to be manually selected.

Please add this.
