Looking back at the code, unfortunately you're right -- we still do the incomplete backend search even when trying to trigger only frontend search. This means for multi-select search, there is currently no easy workaround other than to do a page search (Windows Key + S in Windows or Command + F in Mac). If you switch to single select and choose dropdown display (https://docs.cloudera.com/data-visualization/7/filter-widgets-with-dashboard/topics/viz-use-single-value-dropdown.html), that does only frontend search. That said, VIZ-2919 is currently targeted to be fixed in the upcoming 7.2.8 version of CDV coming around the end of October. We will also be reviewing the implementation of the frontend/backend search and be adding consistency in that behavior across the different types of filters around the end of the year release (multi-select, single select radio, and single select dropdown). ...

Just to be clear -- is this after using the "Filter Fields" for a multselect filter? It seems like when pressing the "Search", the search query we're running only takes into account the user input, not the selections from the "Filter Fields". I've created a bug (VIZ-2919) to track this issue and we will fix it within the next couple of releases. In the meantime, we have a slightly inconvenient workaround, where you can take advantage of our frontend-only search by tabbing out of the input instead of pressing "enter". This will trigger a frontend only search, which will preserve the previous "Filter Fields"   ... View more
