In the new Microsoft Dynamics 365 2022 release wave 2, the “Prevent slow keyword filter or quick find terms on view pages” feature has been introduced that allows or restricts the user while searching for the table records using slow keywords filters in the grid view.

Let’s explore!

When a Dataverse search is enabled, invalid queries like the searches that begin with an asterisk are blocked. To enable the same, users can turn on the “Prevent slow keyword filter or quick find terms on view pages” setting in the Features by navigating to the Power Platform Admin Center i.e. https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/ as shown below:

Environment -> Settings -> Features

As highlighted in the below screen clip when Dataverse search is off the “Prevent slow keyword filter or quick find terms on view pages” feature is disabled for the users.

When the Dataverse search is enabled and “Prevent slow keyword filter or quick find terms on view pages” is set to Off, the user will be able to search the records from the grid using invalid queries such as searches that begin with an asterisk and it will provide a warning message as “for faster results, don’t start with*” and still be able to continue the search. For reference find the below screen clips,

When the Dataverse search is enabled and “Prevent slow keyword filter or quick find terms on view pages” is set to On, the user will not be allowed to search the records from the grid using invalid queries such as searches that begin with an asterisk as it will block the search and provide a warning message as “for faster results, don’t start with*”. Also, the search icon from the grid search gets hidden. For reference find the below screen clips,

Although, the Dataverse search is enabled the user can turn on or off this “Prevent slow keyword filter or quick find terms on view pages” feature anytime from environment settings in Power Platform Admin Center that helps the user to easily filter the views as per requirement.
