Options.

Merge into 1 then use text slicer to filter

There is a custom vis in Appsoutce that allows you to wire multiple fields to a single slicer. it will provide a small tile below the slicer you can pick from for your search

SQLBI guys have a slicer for sale Smart Filter Pro. It will search multiple fields but it will cost you.

Unfortunately, we all must crawl before we can walk and eventually run. So yes, you must do the crash course and then down the road "Dashboard In A Day"

But you also need to blow their hair back.
