# Wildcard search in any group

When working with inline filters, a common requirement arises: enabling users to search across all levels within a hierarchical structure. In scenarios where there are multiple nested levels—such as the 15-level hierarchy in question—it becomes limiting when only one level can be filtered at a time, as shown in the current implementation.

A practical use case highlights this challenge: users might want to search for a specific term like "Person A" without needing to know which hierarchy level contains that value. Ideally, the filtering experience should be seamless and level-agnostic for the end user.

Below workbook contains an example that solves this challenge based on a Tableau Parameter and Tableau filter on the datasheet.
