An option does not appear to exist to add a "text field" , all field types are dropdowns. How to add a searchable text field type to a visualization ?

The reason I'm attempting to add a text field instead of a dropdown field is that the number of records returned by the field in question exceeds 1'000'000 and therefore I do not want to populate all data for performance reasons.

Up to this point I use kibana.autocompleteTerminateAfter and set the value to the number of data points stored in elastic for the field. I'm concerned that as more records are added to elastic the performance of loading the Kibana search page will decrease as kibana.autocompleteTerminateAfter will require updating as new records are added and could at some point be set to kibana.autocompleteTerminateAfter : 10000000

I think that you want something like this Controls Visualization - text input · Issue #25588 · elastic/kibana · GitHub, right?
Input text is not supported yet but voting an existing feature request always helps :smiley:
