Hi there,  
Are there any ways to create a search field with auto suggest in Kibana Canvas.I already tried with drop down filter, but it does not work for search and auto suggest.Thankful for the positive responses

Hi @Alfar,

Unfortunately that is not available.  
This is the issue tracking this: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/27528](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/27528)

Thank you for the response.Anyhow i created a searchable and filterable dropdown in visualize and added to canvas as a savedVisualization.Again the problem is the savedVisualization cannnot be attached to the data(index pattern).Is it possible to attach a data source to the savedVisualization object?
