Considering the current capabilities of Power BI, introducing a text slicer could be a valuable addition. A text slicer would enable users to filter data based on specific text inputs, offering a more tailored and efficient way to navigate through large datasets or to pinpoint particular information. This feature would significantly enhance user interaction with reports, providing a more dynamic and user-friendly experience.

Multiple column support would help a lot. It would reduce clutter on the dashboard, and prevent user errors from searching in the wrong text box.

This is brilliant. What would make this even more useful is if there was an ability to choose some kind of delimiter so that a user might be able to paste a list of things they want to slice on (be that comma, pipe, or newline etc separated)

please ensure you deliver the same capability as Smart Filter by OKVizOr maybe just buy their visual, improve performance a bit and turn it into a Core Visual.
