Hello!  
I would like to have a visual element (like Controls) on the Dashboard panel. It should be linked with the specified Field and when entering a value in the visual element it would be filtered by this Field. The Controls element doesn't meet our requirements because it doesn't allow us to enter any value.

Hello,

I'm not sure what version of Kibana you're on, but it sounds like the [query bar search](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/search.html) functionality might be what you're looking for!

Regards,  
Aaron
