Hi  
I am just starting with Elastic and have some data succesfully loaded and got a Canvas dashboard. However, it seems there is only the Dropdown Filter to query my data. I was hoping there would a text input type element which I could use to do search as you type filter and then the rest of the canvas elements would filter.

Maybe I have missed a trick or is there another way to achieve this?

Many thanks
