Our SSAS tabular cube has > 5k fields (measures/columns) and it is very slow to use the search function with a 10-30 second delay.

This delay often happens halfway through you typing the search terms also which makes it a double wait.

The Search box in the Fields ipane s desperately slow. I have >2k measures and it takes tens of seconds to find a field. I would like an apply button so that PBI does not start to search till I've finished entering the search term

We have the same issue. If you search for something beginning with e or a it will take the time to to highlight almost every field in the model. It should not kick in until at least 2 or 3 characters are entered, and maybe an option to disable completely.
